From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Lower Kaubashine Lake - Deep Hole.
Last sampled Jul 2025Volunteer monitoring since 1986
Through 2025, clear, low-algae water — summer clarity of 14.4 ft is clearer than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.
Based on July–August volunteer averages from 2023–2024; each value shows its own year.40Oligotrophic5-yr summer TSI
Very clear, low-nutrient water — often deep, with limited plant growth.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 12.6 ft (2025-07-21), chlorophyll-a 2 µg/L (2025-07-21), and total phosphorus 14 µg/L (1996-10-13).
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
How deep is Lower Kaubashine Lake?
Lower Kaubashine Lake is 36 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Lower Kaubashine Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Lower Kaubashine Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Lower Kaubashine 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.
