Comfortable summer pattern. Bass and panfish are active; early and late hours beat the midday heat.
Estimates are modeled, not measured. Actual temperatures vary with depth, wind mixing, and recent weather — verify conditions before swimming, boating, or heading onto ice.
DNR water check
From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Fourmile Lake - Deep Hole.
Murky water — summer clarity of 2.9 ft ranks among the lowest of monitored Wisconsin lakes.
Based on July–August volunteer averages from 2022–2024; each value shows its own year.Nutrient-rich, greener water — more algae and plant growth, common in shallower lakes.
Clearer than 9% of 596 monitored Wisconsin lakes with current readings.
No recent nutrient readings — last measured 2013.
July/August means; counts in parentheses show how many samples went into each average.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 3 ft (2026-06-17), chlorophyll-a 12 µg/L (2022-10-20), and total phosphorus 23 µg/L (2013-02-14).
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
Fourmile Lake is 29 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 12 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Fourmile Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.
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.
