DNR water check

Water quality quick take

From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Long Lake north channel near Blackhawk Rd.

Sampled May 2026Volunteer monitoring since 1991

Moderate nutrients in the most recent monitored summers.

Based on the newest individual DNR samples — too few to average.
53Eutrophic5-yr summer TSI
OligotrophicMesotrophicEutrophicHyper.

Nutrient-rich, greener water — more algae and plant growth, common in shallower lakes.

NutrientsTotal phosphorus — fuels plant & algae growth
25 µg/LLatest single sample · 2026-05-28

Moderate phosphorus can support noticeable plant/algae growth.

All readings by year · station details · methodology

Latest individual samples: total phosphorus 25 µg/L (2026-05-28).

Secchi clarity is how deep a black-and-white disk stays visible from the surface — more feet means clearer water.

Chlorophyll-a is an algae pigment; higher values signal more algae in the water column.

Total phosphorus is a nutrient that feeds algae and aquatic plants. It is not a weed survey — depth, bottom type, water movement, and management change the actual lake experience.

Where does the Long 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.
