Connecticut packs more lake beauty into its 5,000 square miles than almost any state its size. From the dramatic Housatonic River reservoirs of the western Litchfield Hills to the quiet glacial ponds of the eastern highlands, the Constitution State's lakes are a cherished part of New England life — for summer swimmers, bass anglers, kayakers, and lakeside families alike. Our handcrafted 3D wooden lake maps capture every depth contour and shoreline in precision laser-cut wood, made to order by a Minnesota veteran in Stacy, MN. Ships in 1 to 2 weeks.
