About Hayden Lake
Hayden Lake lies a few miles north of Coeur d'Alene in the Idaho panhandle, about 4,000 acres with 40 miles of shoreline and depths to 180 feet, fed largely by springs. It was named for Matt Heyden, a settler who won naming rights in a card game in 1878.
The Hayden Lake Country Club, Honeysuckle Beach and the Sportsman's Access are the landmarks; the shore is mostly private homes under ponderosa pine, with the Coeur d'Alene National Forest at the east end.

Hayden Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Hayden Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 30 ft, 60 ft, 90 ft, 120 ft, 150 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 180 ft. The lake covers about 6.1 square miles, and 270 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 Hayden Lake 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 Hayden Lake 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 Hayden Lake.
Hayden Lake 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 Hayden Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Hayden Lake 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.
