DNR water check
Water quality quick take
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Sep 2020Volunteer monitoring 2019–2020
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 1 years, ending in 2020. Its final monitored summers showed crystal clear water (~17.4 ft Secchi) in 2019, very low algae (chlorophyll ~1.5 µg/L) in 2019, and very low nutrients (phosphorus ~7 µg/L) in 2020. After 6 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 17.5 ft (1) | 2.0 µg/L (1) | 7.0 µg/L (1) |
| 2019 | 17.4 ft (2) | 1.5 µg/L (2) | — |

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.
Management contextWhite Lake (WBIC 447000) only
Human-reviewed 2016 whole-shoreline electrofishing metrics for White Lake.
- Historical survey snapshot; not current regulations or navigation guidance.
- Only explicit report observations and estimates were promoted; management targets, stocking rows, creel metrics, comparison-lake values and unsupported chart-only values were excluded.
- Metric source pages, survey years, methods, units and exact waterbody scope are retained.

Depth FAQ
How deep is White Lake?
White Lake is 49 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 21 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of White Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of White Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the White 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.
