About Androscoggin Lake
Androscoggin Lake lies in Kennebec County, Maine, split between the towns of Wayne and Leeds, roughly ten miles northwest of Lewiston. The lake covers about 3,872 acres, and its shoreline runs close to 20 miles, tracing a long, irregular outline shaped by the low hills around it. Water leaves the lake through the Dead River, which eventually joins the Androscoggin River downstream. Camps and year-round homes line much of the shore, many built by families who have summered there for generations.
The lake carries a reputation among anglers for smallmouth bass and chain pickerel, and a state-maintained boat launch gives public access from Wayne. Its modeled maximum depth is about 46 feet, shallow enough that the water warms early and holds that warmth through most of the summer swimming season. Wayne and Leeds remain small, year-round towns rather than resort destinations, and the lake draws a mix of longtime camp families and day visitors from nearby Lewiston-Auburn.

Androscoggin Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Androscoggin Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 15 ft, 23 ft, 31 ft, 39 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 46 ft. The lake covers about 6.3 square miles, and 114 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 Androscoggin 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 Androscoggin 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 Androscoggin Lake.
Androscoggin 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 Androscoggin Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Androscoggin 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.
