Inland lake maps

[No Limit]

I do a lot of ice fishing on inland lakes and I like to travel and try new lakes all te time. Does anyone know of a website that I could find depth charts of lakes?

The DNR website has alot of inland lake maps available

Ryan,

My cousin uses this site for the maps. You need to have a paid membership to allow you access to the maps.

I use the free version for fishing reports but some times the posters/postings get out of hand. It also has a trading post that I have found some good deals.

I am fairly certain that you can see a preview of the maps before you pay.

If you have an iPod or iPad you can download the Navionics app. I have it on my phone and use it for a GPS and lake maps. I think I bought it for somewhere around $10. Well worth it.

Ryan,

I have a link here for the inland lakes in Michigan.

Most everyone here knows that I run a Toughbook Chartplotter with free NOAA charts on free software called SeaClear. I have been using it for a couple of years. I spent some time today putting some coordinates on a DNR chart of Houghton Lake. I used a program within SeaClear called MapCal. I obtained some Coordinates of some inlets from sun earth tools. Anyone can do this with any chart available on line. This took a little geek work but if you fish multiple inland lakes it's worth it to have a chartplotter for them. This can also be loaded on home PC, as a planning tool. Note the Coordinates on the bottom right of the pic, they are the cursors position. The Coordinates top right are your actual position if you have a usb GPS puck plugged into the laptop or PC. The red area up top indicates the position isn't locked in. I hope this helps.

Here is a little better one of Houghton Lake. It will be added to my son's Toughbook chart plotter. He uses the laptop in his work as well.

I like the free versions better!

So what isn't free???? This is all out there. Just have to do a little homework.

Here is another State of MI Link with some more colorful charts.
