Interactive depth contours5-foot typical interval · Modeled depth estimate · Not a survey · Not for navigation
Source: LakeList depth modelmedium confidence · QA passed · Select a contour to inspect its mapped depthModeled depth estimate: contours computed from the lake's shoreline shape and its documented 16-ft maximum depth (depth grows with distance from shore, calibrated to the documented mean depth where available). This is a smooth mathematical model, not a survey - real holes, bars, and drop-offs will differ. Community sonar (C-MAP Genesis) overlays where recorded. Not for navigation.

Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.

Last sampled Oct 2007Volunteer monitoring 1994–2007

DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 13 years, ending in 2007. In 2007 the water showed clear water (~10.4 ft Secchi), low algae (chlorophyll ~3 µg/L), and low nutrients (phosphorus ~14 µg/L). After 19 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
