DNR water check
Water quality quick take
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Sep 2003Volunteer monitoring 1993–2003
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 10 years, ending in 2003. In 2003 the water showed hazy water (~4.8 ft Secchi), high algae (chlorophyll ~35 µg/L), and high nutrients (phosphorus ~75.3 µg/L). After 23 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2003 | 4.8 ft (3) | 35.0 µg/L (3) | 75.3 µg/L (3) |
| 1993 | 3.4 ft (3) | 34.5 µg/L (2) | 69.0 µg/L (2) |
