100-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Purdy Lake maps at 99 acres behind 2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 67% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
