About Lake Hart
Lake Hart sits in southeast Orange County, Florida, a shallow natural basin typical of the sand-hill lake country south of Orlando, near Kissimmee and the growing Lake Nona area. It connects by canal to neighboring Lake Whippoorwill and drains toward the Boggy Creek chain, part of the broader Kissimmee River watershed that historically fed south toward Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades. No dam built the lake; it formed the way most Central Florida lakes did, in a shallow depression in the sandy terrain.
Moss Park, an Orange County park, occupies the isthmus between Lake Hart and its twin, Lake Mary Jane, with campsites, a boat ramp, and a canoe launch used by anglers working the shoreline for largemouth bass. Houses line stretches of the western and northern banks as Orlando's suburbs have pushed east, but the park keeps a run of undeveloped shore. Alligators are common, as on most lakes in the region, and the water stays shallow and warm most of the year.

Lake Hart depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Hart depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 10 ft, 20 ft, 29 ft, 39 ft, 49 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 59 ft. The lake covers about 2.2 square miles, and 32 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Lake Hart map for the wall — or a gift
Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Lake Hart for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Lake Hart.
Lake Hart map — the details
How big is the map?
Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Lake Hart; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Hart is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.
Can I add my own place on it?
Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.
How long does it take?
Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.
Can you make a lake that isn't listed?
Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
