Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Sep 2016Volunteer monitoring 1989–2016
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 27 years, ending in 2016. Its final monitored summers showed hazy water (~5.5 ft Secchi) in 2016, moderate algae (chlorophyll ~7.5 µg/L) in 2016, and moderate nutrients (phosphorus ~27 µg/L) in 1997. After 10 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Camp Lake?
Camp Lake is 19 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 5 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Camp Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Camp Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.
Where does the Camp Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived). Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are derived from community sonar recordings (C-MAP Genesis Social Map, used with permission), with gaps between recordings interpolated; not for navigation.
