From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Lipsett Lake - Deep Hole.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 10.5 ft (2023-06-01), chlorophyll-a 3 µg/L (2026-06-22), and total phosphorus 51 µg/L (2022-08-22).
Secchi clarity is how deep a black-and-white disk stays visible from the surface — more feet means clearer water.
Chlorophyll-a is an algae pigment; higher values signal more algae in the water column.
Total phosphorus is a nutrient that feeds algae and aquatic plants. It is not a weed survey — depth, bottom type, water movement, and management change the actual lake experience.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2016 DNR fisheries survey. Population estimates, density, and catch-rate indices use different units, methods, and scopes, so each value is presented in its original form rather than normalized against a different measure.
Survey indicatorsValues keep their source unit and method; unlike measures are not scaled or compared.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Lipsett Lake?
Lipsett Lake is 24 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 13 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Lipsett Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Lipsett Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Lipsett Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from LakeList depth model. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are a modeled estimate calibrated to the lake's documented maximum depth - not a survey, and not for navigation.
