This is a smooth mathematical model, not a survey - real holes, bars, and drop-offs will differ. Community sonar (C-MAP Genesis) overlays where recorded. Not for navigation.LakeList assistant

Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2021 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.
Management contextA 2021 comprehensive Park Lake survey assessed major gamefish and panfish populations using spring fyke nets, spring and fall electrofishing and mark-recapture estimates.

Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Jul 2020Volunteer monitoring 2011–2020
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 9 years, ending in 2020. Its final monitored summers showed murky water (~1.9 ft Secchi) in 2011, high algae (chlorophyll ~96.5 µg/L) in 2018, and high nutrients (phosphorus ~90.5 µg/L) in 2018. After 6 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.

|---|---|---|---|

| 2019 | — | 86.0 µg/L (1) | — |

Depth FAQ
How deep is Park Lake?
Park Lake is 27 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 7 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Park Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Park Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Park 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.
