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 27-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.

From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Schnur Lake - Deep Hole.

Sampled Aug 2025Volunteer monitoring since 2000

Somewhat hazy water — summer clarity of 9.7 ft is lower than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 6 ft (2025-08-26), chlorophyll-a 6 µg/L (2025-08-26), and total phosphorus 14 µg/L (2024-05-19).

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 Schnur Lake?

Schnur Lake is 27 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 15 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Schnur Lake?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Schnur Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.

Where does the Schnur 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.
