262-acre lake in Franklin County, Massachusetts. The lake tops out around 7 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 262 acres wrapped in 3.9 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Call it 1.9 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Franklin County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lake Rohunta N.B., is 1 mi to the north.
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 7 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 7 ft.
