DNR water check

Water quality quick take

Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.

Last sampled Apr 2025Volunteer monitoring 2003–2025

DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 22 years, ending in 2025. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~8.3 ft Secchi) in 2012, elevated algae (chlorophyll ~10.5 µg/L) in 2011, and elevated nutrients (phosphorus ~37 µg/L) in 2011. After 1 year without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.

The DNR station record reports activity through 2026, but LakeList holds no readings after 2025 — check the station reports for anything newer.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Trego Lake?

Trego Lake is 36 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 11 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Trego Lake?

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