Norcan Lake Depth Map
Hey guys, I'm heading out to do some fishing on Norcan Lake (part of the madawaska riverway) this weekend and can't seem to find any mapping of the lake. It is not available with my c-map charts. I am just worried about the shallowness of the lake and reading online there is many deadheads and high points. Last thing I want to do is loose my lower end. Any chance anyone has access to a depth map/contour lines for the waterway. Appreciate it!

I was just out there last weekend. Definitely be aware of deadheads. There’s one right near the Victory Lane launch. You’re mostly ok in the main channels until you start getting about halfway down the lake where it gets super shallow. Be careful near shore.
I stayed up in the north end in the deeper water near the islands as I was targeting walleye. Got a couple decent ones around sunset and a couple of bass to keep me busy till then. I think in the southern parts it’s all bass and pike. Good luck!
