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 21-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.

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

Sampled Sep 2025Volunteer monitoring since 2007

Somewhat hazy water — summer clarity of 7.8 ft is clearer than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 10 ft (2025-09-18), chlorophyll-a 6 µg/L (2025-09-18), and total phosphorus 23 µg/L (2023-08-31).

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.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Long Lake?

Long Lake is 21 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Long Lake?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Long Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.

Where does the Long 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.
