292-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 8 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 292 acres, worked by 3.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.4 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. It sits in Les Appalaches MRC. If the bite dies, Lac William is 4 mi to the northwest.
