About Congers Lake
Congers Lake sits in Rockland County, New York, within the town of Clarkstown near the hamlet of Congers, roughly twenty miles north of Paterson, New Jersey, across the state line. The lake covers about 94 acres and holds close to two miles of shoreline, a shape that keeps most of the water within casting distance of the bank. At a maximum depth near 31 feet, it runs deeper than its modest surface area suggests, a pattern typical of the kettle lakes the last glaciation left scattered across this part of the lower Hudson Valley.
The lake sits inside the New York City commuter belt, close enough to Manhattan for a daily train ride yet far enough out that Clarkstown and the surrounding Rockland County towns keep a suburban, low-density feel. Local anglers fish it for panfish and bass, and a park along its shore gives residents public access without a boat. Compared with the larger reservoirs and lakes elsewhere in Rockland County, Congers Lake stays small and local, a neighborhood water body rather than a regional draw.

Congers Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Congers Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 5 ft, 11 ft, 16 ft, 21 ft, 26 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 31 ft. The lake covers about 0.2 square miles, and 23 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 Congers 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 Congers 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 Congers Lake.
Congers 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 Congers Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Congers 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.
