Where can I find lake maps?
As the title says, I am looking for maps of Alberta lakes. Depth is my primary concern.
Where do I find them?
Thanks.
Dale.

here's a link too, the formal name for lake depth is bathymetry, so if you include that in your google search you may get better results.

Anyone notice that some of these maps are not as accurate as when they were made?

How do you mean? Are you comparing older maps to the new color ones?

consider this.....
if you have a smart phone. Navionics has an App for $20
with every lake in Canada. Its very accurate and I use mine
with my depth finder to find drop offs etc. It also records tracks
and has a speed indicator etc.
it may not be exactly what your looking for but......
i cant think of what Ive spent $20 bucks on that I have used
more.
fish on Garth !!!
fish on Wayne !!!

Agreed it's great and now available for Android phones as well.
Not the most detailed maps but pair it with Navionics app and you're all set.

Uh huh, you just need to subtract a meter or two depending on the lake and they are still accurate though. Water levels have declined noticeably since the 70s when many of these surveys were conducted.
It is actually kind of funny because there are a couple lakes I go to that are shaped very different now because of the lower water levels. At first I was like no way this is the right mapuntil I looked close and realized that some sections just don't exist anymore because they used to be very shallow.
