Viewing maps of WCPP, one is immediately struck that many of the lake names are descriptive of the shape of the lake (e.g., Bunny, Mexican Hat, Optic, Telescope, Broken Arrow ... the list goes on).

I initially assumed that was the case for Bulging Lake.  Looking at the surface outline, one can envision it as a bulge.  However, I recently ran into a map that shows the depth of the lake at 230 meters (~750 feet).  Is that depth accurate?  Is that the source of the name?  Are there other lakes that approach/exceed this depth in the park?  While I've occasionally run across canoe country lakes in excess of 300 feet deep ... this one is "off the charts" based on my limited experience with the lakes in the region.
