Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Jun 2025Volunteer monitoring 2000–2025
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 25 years, ending in 2025. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~8.3 ft Secchi) in 2025, moderate algae (chlorophyll ~10 µg/L) in 2004, and low nutrients (phosphorus ~20 µg/L) in 2004. After 1 year 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 2025 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 contextLake-specific spring electrofishing; panfish and other all-species metrics use one mile while gamefish metrics use the full 3.0-mile shoreline effort.
DNR found a bluegill/largemouth-bass fishery with lower panfish abundance than 2008, slightly improved bluegill size structure, and similar largemouth-bass abundance and size structure.
- One-mile all-species and 3.0-mile gamefish scopes remain separate.
- Current 2025 values are kept separate from 2008 comparisons.
- Exact incidental species counts and explicitly printed individual lengths are retained without population inference.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Burrows Lake?
Burrows Lake is 28 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 9 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Burrows Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Burrows Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Burrows 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.
