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.LakeList assistant

Last sampled Aug 2021
Through 2021, somewhat hazy water — the latest clarity reading of 4 ft ranks among the lowest of monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Summer averages (July/August)
July/August means; counts in parentheses show how many samples went into each average.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 4 ft (2021-08-14).
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 White Lake?
White Lake is 11 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 4 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of White Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of White Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the White 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.
