Maryland packs a surprising amount of lake variety into its compact geography — from the deep, mountain-rimmed waters of Deep Creek Lake in the Appalachian west to the chain of Baltimore metropolitan water supply reservoirs that stretch through the Piedmont, and the vast, tidal expanse of the Chesapeake Bay defining the state's entire eastern character. The Free State's lakes are deeply woven into the identity of the communities that surround them — whether you're a Deep Creek ski house family, a Baltimore angler who knows every cove on Loch Raven, or a sailor on the Bay. 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.
Notable Maryland Lakes

Deep Creek Lake — Garrett County. Maryland's largest lake and the state's premier four-season resort destination, Deep Creek Lake is a 3,900-acre reservoir in the Appalachian highlands of western Maryland with excellent bass and trout fishing and a thriving ski and waterfront community. A beloved escape for Washington DC and Baltimore families — and one of the most meaningful and most-gifted lake maps in our Mid-Atlantic collection.

Loch Raven Reservoir — Baltimore County. One of three interconnected water supply reservoirs serving the Baltimore metro, Loch Raven is a beloved local fishing and recreation destination tucked into the wooded valleys north of Baltimore. A top-rated trout and bass fishery with a quiet, forested character that feels a world away from the city — and a deeply personal map for anyone from the Baltimore area.

Liberty Reservoir — Baltimore and Carroll Counties. The largest of Baltimore's three water supply reservoirs, Liberty sits at the headwaters of the North Branch Patapsco River with excellent bass, trout, and crappie fishing. A meaningful map for anyone from the Carroll County or western Baltimore County region.

Prettyboy Reservoir — Baltimore County. The northernmost and most scenic of Baltimore's reservoir chain, Prettyboy is a long, winding impoundment on the Gunpowder Falls with outstanding trout fishing and a wild, forested character.
