Tides in Shalane Lake?
Hi. Tides in the Deepwash, of which Shalane Lake forms the western part, was doubted, as tides are usually only know from seas and oceans, not inland lakes. However, Deepwash is a huge lake and with a great depth too, so notable tides should certainly occur.

Here is the discussion:

The sourcebook erroneously describes this as a "sea cave" and makes a note about accessibility only during low tide. As the Deepwash is an inland lake, it could not possibly have noticeable tides.


 * Not true. Deepwash Lake is enormous, more than 200 miles long and with very deep waters. It could well be compared to Lake Baikal in Russia, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. Lake Baikal experiences a tidal difference of about 1 metre. Look here fx.: https://tides4fishing.com/as/russia-vladivostok-time/baikal-bay Deepwash runs East-West, in contrast to Lake Baikal's South-North placement, this could lead to higher tides in Deepwash, as large water-masses gets concentrated in narrow bays.
