About Echo Lake
Echo Lake sits in central Massachusetts near Worcester, a compact body of water covering about 101 acres with roughly two miles of shoreline. Like much of the region's small lake and pond terrain, it sits within a landscape shaped by glacial retreat thousands of years ago, which left behind the kettle basins and hollows common across Worcester County. Its modest size and depth put it in the category of local ponds rather than large regional lakes.
The lake's shoreline is largely residential, ringed by homes and camps rather than large public parkland, typical of many smaller lakes in the area. With a modeled maximum depth of about 37 feet, it is deep enough for boating and fishing but shallow enough to warm through in summer, drawing swimmers and anglers from the surrounding towns. It functions less as a destination lake and more as a neighborhood one, tied closely to the communities along its edge.

Echo Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Echo Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 6 ft, 12 ft, 18 ft, 25 ft, 31 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 37 ft. The lake covers about 0.2 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Echo 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 Echo 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 Echo Lake.
Echo 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 Echo Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Echo 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.
