DNR water check
Water quality quick take
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Aug 1979
The last DNR samples for this lake are from 1979, when the water showed high algae (chlorophyll ~33 µg/L) and moderate nutrients (phosphorus ~21 µg/L). After 47 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
The DNR station record reports activity through 2018, but LakeList holds no readings after 1979 — check the station reports for anything newer.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1979 | — | 33.0 µg/L (1) | 21.0 µg/L (1) |

Where does the Gibbs Lake depth map come from?
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.
