28-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 50 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 28 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 23% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Papineau MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac des Pins is 1 mi to the northeast.
