About Lake Waukewan
Lake Waukewan sits in Meredith, New Hampshire, in the state's Lakes Region, where retreating glaciers carved the basins now holding Winnipesaukee, Squam, and their smaller neighbors at the end of the last ice age. The lake covers about 778 acres and reaches roughly 44 feet at its deepest point. Its outlet, the Waukewan River, runs into Meredith Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee, linking the two bodies of water. The town of Meredith also draws its public drinking water from the lake, which has shaped how development and boating are managed along its roughly eight miles of shoreline.
Shoreline houses and camps ring the lake, with Meredith, New Hampton, and Center Harbor bordering its edges. Fishing draws anglers after smallmouth bass and stocked trout, and swimming and paddling are common, with the lake's role as a public water supply limiting development pressure along the shore. Families who've kept camps here for generations mix with newer owners drawn by proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee without that lake's boat traffic. Concord sits about thirty miles south, making Waukewan a regional day-trip or weekend destination rather than a remote retreat.

Lake Waukewan depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Waukewan depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 7 ft, 15 ft, 22 ft, 29 ft, 37 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 44 ft. The lake covers about 1.3 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Lake Waukewan 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 Waukewan 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 Waukewan.
Lake Waukewan 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 Waukewan; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Waukewan 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.
