Interactive depth contours5-foot typical interval · Modeled depth estimate · Not a survey · Not for navigation
Source: LakeList depth modelmedium confidence · QA passed · Select a contour to inspect its mapped depthModeled depth estimate: contours computed from the lake's shoreline shape and its documented 27-ft maximum depth (depth grows with distance from shore, calibrated to the documented mean depth where available). 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.

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.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey

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.

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.
