About Conneaut Lake
Conneaut Lake in Crawford County is the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania, about 930 acres and 68 feet deep, a glacial kettle in the hills west of Meadville. The name is Seneca for 'snow water'. The Conneaut Lake Park amusement park, opened in 1892, still runs its 1938 Blue Streak coaster.
The borough of Conneaut Lake at the south end, the Hotel Conneaut and the cottages along Oakland Beach and Lakeside make it the summer place for Erie and Pittsburgh families; ice fishing takes over in January.

- 6 depth layers, each step engraved with its depth in feet

Conneaut Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Conneaut Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 11 ft, 23 ft, 34 ft, 45 ft, 57 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 68 ft. The lake covers about 1.5 square miles, and 177 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 Conneaut 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 Conneaut 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 Conneaut Lake.
Conneaut 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 Conneaut Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Conneaut 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.
