116-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 46 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.
The outline encloses 116 acres, worked by 2 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 44% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. La Matanie MRC claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lac Noir, is 2 mi to the north.
