Source: LakeList depth modelmedium confidence · QA passed · Select a contour to inspect its mapped depthModeled depth estimate: contours computed from the lake's shoreline shape and its documented 18-ft maximum depth (depth grows with distance from shore, calibrated to the documented mean depth where available). This is a smooth mathematical model, not a survey - real holes, bars, and drop-offs will differ. Community sonar (C-MAP Genesis) overlays where recorded. Not for navigation.

DNR water check

Water quality quick take

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 hazy water (~5.2 ft Secchi) in 2025, high algae (chlorophyll ~39 µg/L) in 2001, and high nutrients (phosphorus ~62 µg/L) in 2000. After 1 year without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
