325-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 164 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 325 acres of water rimmed by 4.6 miles of bank. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 2% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1.8 mi long by 0.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Antoine-Labelle MRC. The nearest mapped water is Lac Murphy, 2 mi to the west.
