Anyone know if there are any topo maps available for WCPP lakes?

Thanks for this. However, I'm specifically interested in topographical information regarding the lakes themselves rather than the land around them. I don't believe the tool you're indicating can do that unless I'm missing something.

I've not found a source that covers all the lakes (depth/contour) for WCPP. What I've found are lake maps provided through some of the cabin/lodge operators to aid their guests' fishing experience. Among those I've found are:

Haggart/Bulging
Thicketwood
Domain
Glenn, Optic, Telescope, Embryo areas

These maps are not overly detailed but suggest where different species of fish might be located and color-coded depths of lake areas.

DD, how would I get ahold of these?

quote KerryG: "DD, how would I get ahold of these?"

Go to the "Outposts" tab and look for Haggart Lake (Haggart & Bulging):
Green's Fly-in Outposts

Go to the "Outposts" tab and look for (a) Telescope Lake, (b) Optic Lake or (c) Domain Lake
Viking Outposts

Go to the "Cabins" tab and look for (a) Murdock Lake, (b) Knox Lake, (c) Peisk Lake, or (d) Thicketwood Lake
Canadian Fly-in Fishing

I've also run into a black & white depth map for Musclow Lake. I'll have to do some digging, but I seem to remember it came from a lake study conducted by Ontario MNR.
