Somewhat hazy, algae-prone water — summer clarity of 3.7 ft ranks among the lowest of monitored Wisconsin lakes.
Based on July–August 2025 averages across 7 volunteer readings.54Eutrophic5-yr summer TSI
Nutrient-rich, greener water — more algae and plant growth, common in shallower lakes.

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 Amacoy Lake?
Amacoy Lake is 20 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 13 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Amacoy Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Amacoy Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.
Where does the Amacoy 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.
