Briant Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Where can I get a good lake map for Lake Nipissing particularly the west side of the lake? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Quick GOOGLE seach brought this one up. Don't know if it'll help you though. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCQQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lakenipissingoutdoors.com%2Flake-nipissing-fishing-map.php&ei=yaK6U6GsJcGNyAS284HYAQ&usg=AFQjCNF7qB5txx9k8QORJZP0ziaL8tORgA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Angler Atlas should have some hydro charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I don't think the West Arm has been charted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I believe you are correct Roy, which explains why there are no electronic maps available either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briant Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lol someone on here told me to buy the lake map that it was the "best $20 you will ever spend" My Navionics + chip is pretty detailed for Nipissing, with 1' contour lines. I just need a basic lake map so I write notes, mark spots, and such to go along with what's on my graph. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleheader Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lakair used to sell maps of the west arm, I have one framed in my den. I have no idea where the would have bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Most lodges up there sell those maps Fred. I wouldn't be without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've got one hanging on the wall of my garage and spend many hours staring at it and day dreaming thru the long cold winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I've got one hanging on the wall of my garage and spend many hours staring at it and day dreaming thru the long cold winters I probably have the same map. It has conturs of the water depths I believe. Nothing charted electronically that I am aware of. The water west of 64 has not been charted - likewise the French has never been charted. I purchased MapCreate for Canada a number of years ago and created my own map, but the best this can be used for is basic navigation. All I have is the contours of the shore-line - rough contourns mind you. I only use it for to mark specific trails and waypoints and such. Nothing for depths or what is lying under the surface. I think the map the others are talking about would be your best choice for the un-charted water up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 The convenience store / LCBO in Lavinge sells them. They are right off the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) will have to check my map but pretty sure they have depths for waters west of 64. -just checked and yup, contours going past Monetville Arm to the Cut and beyond. Reminds me I should buy another copy and laminate it for the wall, other one is a folded up mess Edited July 10, 2014 by woodenboater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Man, I'd sure like to see a small screen capture or photo of the area that you're talking about because I have never heard of any West Arm maps showing depths. Feel free to PM or email me a tiny portion of this map. Or even the provenance of this map would help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 We used to get all of our topographical maps for Nippissing when we had the cottage at Bear Creek. We bought them at The Canada Center for Inland Waters. They are right below the James Allen Skyway Bridge in Hamilton. I need to find out because apparently every time I leave the dock here I'm in violation of Marine law not having a hard copy of the east end of Erie. I can I.D. landmarks like the hydro stacks and US Steel here but now with all the wind turbines everywhere else looks the same. The online maps I've seen aren't very good. Anyone have a site for good maps of Ontario and Erie? Sorry for the thread hi-jack. Thanks for the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowball Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I found a very good map for Lake Nipissing on this site: http://www.navionics.com/en/webapp Simply shift over to the North Bay area and zoom in on the map. Regards, Snowball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iFish4real Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 get Navionics app on your phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briant Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Guys just a heads up - what you see on that Navioncs Webbapp is exactly what you download to the new Navionics plus chip for your graph. It does have 1' contour lines in most areas. Even west of 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
