Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Sep 2022Volunteer monitoring 1978–2022
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 44 years, ending in 2022. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~8.6 ft Secchi) in 1998, moderate algae (chlorophyll ~5.3 µg/L) in 1981, and low nutrients (phosphorus ~20 µg/L) in 1980. After 4 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
