About Lake Gleneida
Lake Gleneida sits in the Hudson Valley of New York, a modest body of water covering about 166 acres with roughly two miles of shoreline. It is a shallow lake by regional standards, with a modeled maximum depth around 47 feet, giving it a broad, gradually sloping basin rather than a deep central trench. Its size keeps it out of most statewide rankings, but that same scale makes it easy to see across from almost any point on its shore.
The lake draws a mix of local anglers, casual boaters, and residents whose properties back onto the water, the kind of use pattern typical of small lakes within reach of a larger regional population center. Fishing and quiet paddling are more common here than high-speed boat traffic, a function of both the lake's modest acreage and its shallow average depth. Homes and camps line much of the two-mile shoreline, and the lake functions less as a destination than as a fixture of daily life for the people who live around it.

Lake Gleneida depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Gleneida depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 16 ft, 23 ft, 31 ft, 39 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 47 ft. The lake covers about 0.3 square miles, and 25 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 Gleneida 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 Gleneida 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 Gleneida.
Lake Gleneida 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 Gleneida; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Gleneida 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?
