DNR water check
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 23 years, ending in 1999. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~7.5 ft Secchi) in 1990, elevated algae (chlorophyll ~13 µg/L) in 1991, and low nutrients (phosphorus ~18 µg/L) in 1991. After 27 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1999 | 6.6 ft (1) | 20.0 µg/L (1) | 22.0 µg/L (1) |
| 1997 | 8.9 ft (1) | 17.0 µg/L (1) | 64.0 µg/L (1) |
| 1991 | 4.9 ft (1) | 13.0 µg/L (2) | 18.0 µg/L (2) |
| 1990 | 7.5 ft (2) | 8.5 µg/L (2) | 20.0 µg/L (1) |
| 1989 | 4.9 ft (1) | 11.0 µg/L (1) | 20.0 µg/L (1) |
| 1985 | 5.4 ft (2) | 11.0 µg/L (2) | 19.5 µg/L (2) |

Depth FAQ
Crooked Lake is 32 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 12 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Crooked Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.
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.
