About Lake Koshkonong

Lake Koshkonong is a broad, shallow widening of the Rock River in southern Wisconsin, spread across Dane, Jefferson and Rock counties, covering more than 10,500 acres but averaging only about 6 feet deep. It was largely marshland until the Indianford Dam, completed in 1932, raised and stabilized the water level into the lake seen today. Its warm, murky water is prime habitat for panfish, catfish and walleye, and Native American effigy mounds along its shores mark centuries of earlier settlement around the lake basin.

Why we cut this one

Lake Koshkonong is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.
