A 168-foot earthen dam on the outlet raises the water level 4 feet, expanding the lake's surface and supporting a diverse fishery of Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Brown Bullhead, and Sunfish across its well-developed shoreline. The lake is a state-designated bass management lake and feeds into the Thames River Drainage Basin via Gardner Brook and the Yantic River. A beloved piece of local lore involves an 1895 winter misadventure in which a Bozrah grocer attempted to slide his home across the frozen lake, only to have it crack through the ice and sink, where it remained visible for years and became a beloved neighborhood landmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated along Route 82 and Route 354 in the heart of southeastern Connecticut, Gardner Lake is surrounded by three state parks including Gardner Lake State Park, Hopemead State Park, and the boat-access-only Minnie Island State Park. The New London County area offers easy access to Mystic Seaport, Foxwoods Resort Casino, Mohegan Sun, and the scenic Thames River valley, making this corner of Connecticut a beloved destination for lake lovers, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts year-round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA laser-cut wooden map of Gardner Lake makes a striking and deeply personal piece of wall art for any New London County lake home, cabin, or Connecticut shoreline retreat. The natural wood top layer traces the coves, campgrounds, and the outline of Minnie Island across this storied lake's shoreline in beautiful detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers capture its 39-foot depth and classic New England lake character. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Gardner Lake homeowners, Salem area locals, and anyone who treasures this beloved corner of southeastern Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: 8\"x12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: 12\"x18\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge: 16\"x24\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra Large: 20\"x30\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXX Large: 24\"x36\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGigantic 30\"x45\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD Extra Large: 20\"x30\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD XX Large: 24\"x36\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD Gigantic 30\"x45\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers.
