What we chart on Lake Erie
Navigating Lake Erie
Lake Erie, OH is a lake in Ohio, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The lake is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.
We hold 6,931 charted navigation aids on Lake Erie. That breaks down into 1,519 channel markers, 3,021 marked hazards, 5 no-wake markers, 1,026 lights, 9 locks, and 1,351 special-purpose markers. We also chart 619 public boat ramps and 872 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. Depth coverage comes from 14,782 surveyed soundings and 5,679 depth contours, which is what lets the chart shade the shallows.
