Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Aug 2008Volunteer monitoring 2000–2008
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 8 years, ending in 2008. Its final monitored summers showed murky water (~2.8 ft Secchi) in 2008, very low algae (chlorophyll ~1 µg/L) in 2002, and very low nutrients (phosphorus ~10 µg/L) in 2002. After 18 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
The DNR station record reports activity through 2024, but LakeList holds no readings after 2008 — check the station reports for anything newer.
