Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.

Last sampled Nov 2016Volunteer monitoring 1996–2016

DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 20 years, ending in 2016. Its final monitored summers showed murky water (~2.7 ft Secchi) in 2016, high algae (chlorophyll ~179 µg/L) in 2009, and high nutrients (phosphorus ~156.5 µg/L) in 2009. After 10 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Marinuka Lake?

Marinuka Lake is 9 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 3 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Marinuka Lake?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Marinuka 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 Marinuka 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.
