This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
Lake Rachel is a 448-acre clear water lake in Holmes City Township, Douglas County, Minnesota, reaching a maximum depth of 65 feet across 6 miles of tree-lined shoreline within the Chippewa River watershed. The lake holds an impressive and diverse fishery of Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch, alongside cold-water species like Cisco (Tullibee) supported by its deep, oxygen-rich basin. DNR surveys have identified numerous intolerant species including Banded Killifish, Iowa Darter, and Least Darter, indicating a lake of high ecological health and water quality.
Located near the small communities of Lowry, Kensington, and Forada in west-central Douglas County, Lake Rachel sits in the rolling glacial lake country between Alexandria and Glenwood. The area is home to Kensington Runestone Park with over eight miles of forested hiking trails and the nearby Andes Tower Hills ski area, offering year-round outdoor recreation just a short drive from the lake's quiet, natural shoreline.
A laser-cut wooden map of Lake Rachel makes a beautiful and personal piece of wall art for any Douglas County cabin, Alexandria-area lake home, or west-central Minnesota retreat. The natural wood top layer traces every curve of this deep, ecologically rich lake's 6 miles of tree-lined shoreline in fine detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers capture its impressive 65-foot depth. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Lake Rachel homeowners, Douglas County anglers, and anyone who treasures this pristine corner of Minnesota lake country.

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.
