Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.

Last sampled Aug 2025Volunteer monitoring 1987–2025

DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 38 years, ending in 2025. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~7.7 ft Secchi) in 1993, very low algae (chlorophyll ~1.5 µg/L) in 2025, and low nutrients (phosphorus ~14.3 µg/L) in 2002. After 1 year without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
