About Kezar Lake
Kezar Lake lies in Lovell, in the mountains of western Maine, about seven miles long and 2,665 acres, with a maximum depth of 155 feet. The Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad reached nearby Fryeburg after the Civil War, and tourists discovered the lake soon after — a history still visible in the old summer cottages along its shore. Landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass and white perch keep anglers coming back, and Stephen King and painter Marsden Hartley both spent time in town.

Kezar Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Kezar Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 15 ft, 23 ft, 31 ft, 38 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 46 ft. The lake covers about 0.1 square miles, and 4 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 Kezar 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 Kezar 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 Kezar Lake.
Kezar 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 Kezar Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Kezar 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.
