Gale Lake in Itasca County, Minnesota
This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
Gale Lake is a 73-acre clear water lake located nine miles southeast of Bigfork in Itasca County, Minnesota, reaching a maximum depth of 50 feet across 2 miles of forested shoreline within the Big Fork River watershed. The lake holds a diverse fishery of Walleye, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Rock Bass, Pumpkinseed, Yellow Perch, and Yellow Bullhead, with no developed public access giving it a quiet, secluded character that sets it apart from the more heavily trafficked lakes of the region.
Situated in the boreal forest country of north-central Itasca County near Bigfork and the George Washington State Forest, Gale Lake sits in a landscape defined by remote lake chains, the Big Fork River, and the vast mixed forests of northern Minnesota's lake country. The communities of Bigfork, Marcell, and Grand Rapids provide access to dining, supplies, and services without diminishing the sense of true Northwoods solitude that makes this corner of Itasca County so beloved.
A laser-cut wooden map of Gale Lake makes a personal and intimate piece of wall art for any Itasca County cabin, Bigfork-area retreat, or Minnesota Northwoods lake home. The natural wood top layer traces every curve of this secluded lake's 2-mile forested shoreline in fine detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers capture its impressive 50-foot depth and wild, undeveloped character. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Gale Lake regulars, Northwoods anglers, and anyone who treasures this quiet corner of Minnesota lake country.

The difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers. Standard maps have 1 land layer and 7 water layers. The HD lake maps have 1 land layer and 14 water layers. So twice the detail. The HD Maps are limited to Extra Large, XX Large, and Gigantic sizes only. On the smaller sizes the depth change of the wood is too extreme and you end up losing detail.
