Pontoosuc Lake in Berkshire County, Massachusetts
This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
Pontoosuc Lake is a 480-acre great pond straddling the City of Pittsfield and the Town of Lanesborough in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, sitting at 1,082 feet elevation with a maximum depth of 35 feet and an average depth of 14 feet. Fed by Secum Brook and Town Brook, the lake is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, which draws it down three feet each fall to protect shorelines and prepare for spring runoff. The lake's biggest claim to fame among anglers is its ability to consistently produce trophy Tiger Muskies, alongside stocked Rainbow and Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Yellow Perch, Black Crappie, and Bluegill in its muck and gravel-bottomed waters.
Located at the northern edge of Pittsfield in the heart of the Berkshires, Pontoosuc Lake is one of the most heavily used recreational lakes in western Massachusetts, with boating, water skiing, kayaking, and ice fishing drawing visitors year-round from both the local community and the broader Berkshire tourism corridor. Pontoosuc Lake Park on the southern shore provides a public boat ramp, parking, and shoreline access, while the surrounding Berkshires offer Tanglewood, the Norman Rockwell Museum, Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, and Pittsfield's growing arts and dining scene just minutes from the water.
A laser-cut wooden map of Pontoosuc Lake makes a personal and meaningful piece of wall art for any Berkshires home, Pittsfield lake cottage, or western Massachusetts retreat. The natural wood top layer traces the shoreline of this beloved Berkshire great pond in fine detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers capture its depth and the clear, drawn-down character that defines this iconic Massachusetts lake. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Pontoosuc Lake homeowners, Pittsfield locals, and anyone who treasures life on the water in the Berkshires.

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.
