Shawano Lake is a 6,215-acre hard water drainage lake in northeastern Wisconsin's Shawano County, featuring 18 miles of scenic shoreline, an average depth of 9 feet, and reaching a maximum depth of 42 feet near its deepest areas. Named after Chief Sawanoh, a Menominee Indian chief who camped with his tribes along these shores, the lake is fed by multiple inlets and maintained by a dam on the Wolf River that regulates water levels. This warm water fishery hosts exceptional populations of Walleye, Northern Pike, Musky, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, and Pumpkinseed, with annual stocking programs maintaining healthy Musky populations and a successful Walleye spawning reef established in the mid-1980s. The lake serves as an important resting stop for migrating waterfowl including American White Pelicans and Tundra Swans, while providing year-round recreation including fishing tournaments, boating with no horsepower restrictions, swimming, water skiing, ice fishing, and winter ice racing events.

Located adjacent to the city of Shawano and just 30 minutes north of Green Bay, Shawano Lake offers convenient access to northeastern Wisconsin's attractions and natural wonders. The surrounding area features the 15,000-acre Navarino State Wildlife Area, one of Wisconsin's premier wildlife viewing destinations with 101 bird species including Sandhill Cranes and Bald Eagles.

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."
