Lake Whatcom in Whatcom County, Washington

This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version

Lake Whatcom is a large, natural lake in Whatcom County, Washington, and is the primary source of drinking water for approximately 85,000 residents, including the City of Bellingham. The lake is nearly 10 miles long, covers about 5,000 acres, and reaches an impressive maximum depth of 350 feet (110 meters).

The lake is divided into three distinct basins. The deepest section, Basin 3, is the most remote and holds nearly all of the lake's volume, while the northern basins (Basins 1 and 2) have seen more residential development. This development, along with non-point source pollution, has led to a degradation of water quality in recent decades, with the lake being placed on Washington's list for polluted water bodies due to low dissolved oxygen levels. Local authorities actively monitor water quality and implement management programs to address nutrient and bacteria loads.

Despite the environmental challenges, Lake Whatcom remains a major hub for recreation. Its large size and varying depths make it popular for motor boating, swimming, and fishing. The surrounding area offers ample opportunities for outdoor adventure, including the Chanterelle Trail in Lake Whatcom Park, which provides a challenging hike with sweeping views of the lake and the surrounding forest.

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."
