Water quality quick take
From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Buckskin Lake - Deep Hole.
Last sampled Jul 2025
Through 2025, somewhat hazy water — summer clarity of 8.3 ft is clearer than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Summer averages (July/August)
July/August means; counts in parentheses show how many samples went into each average.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 11.0 ft (1) | — | — |
| 2022 | 8.3 ft (2) | — | — |
| 2015 | 9.0 ft (1) | — | — |
| 1984 | — | 5.0 µg/L (1) | — |
Latest individual samples: Secchi 11 ft (2025-07-01), chlorophyll-a 5 µg/L (1984-07-12), and total phosphorus 20 µg/L (1984-10-18).
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.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2006 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 contextBuckskin Lake (WBIC 2272600) only
Human-reviewed catch, CPUE, population, recapture, length and effort metrics for exact Buckskin Lake.
- Historical survey snapshot; not current regulations or navigation guidance.
- Stocking histories, regulations, recommendations, comparison-water values, creel values and unsupported chart-only values were excluded.
- For LakeList rows without WBIC values, deterministic migrations target the exact reviewed LakeList UUID plus canonical name, county and state; the source WBIC remains provenance only.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Buckskin Lake?
Buckskin Lake is 22 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Buckskin Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Buckskin 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 Buckskin 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.
