133-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 92 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Lac Mitchell maps at 133 acres behind 2.1 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 18% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.4 mi across. Antoine-Labelle MRC claims this one. Lac Clair sits 2 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
