About Lake Wampanoag
Lake Wampanoag sits in the hill country northwest of Worcester, Massachusetts, in a stretch of Worcester County where small lakes and ponds sit between wooded ridges and old farm fields. The lake covers roughly 215 acres with about five miles of shoreline, modest enough that a slow lap by boat takes an afternoon rather than a day. Cottages and year-round houses line parts of the shore, mixed with stretches of undeveloped woods that keep the water out of sight from the nearest roads.
At around 30 feet at its deepest point, the lake is shallow enough to warm through by midsummer, which suits the swimmers and casual anglers who make up most of the traffic on it. Bass and panfish draw local fishermen out in small boats and kayaks rather than large craft, and the lake stays quieter than the bigger recreational lakes farther east toward Worcester. Weekend regulars tend to be families with camps passed down within the same household for a generation or two, not seasonal renters.

Lake Wampanoag depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Wampanoag depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 5 ft, 10 ft, 15 ft, 20 ft, 25 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 30 ft. The lake covers about 0.4 square miles, and 6 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 Wampanoag 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 Wampanoag 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 Wampanoag.
Lake Wampanoag 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 Wampanoag; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Wampanoag 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.
