Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Apr 2025Volunteer monitoring 2007–2025
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 18 years, ending in 2025. Its final monitored summers showed clear water (~11 ft Secchi) in 2017 and low nutrients (phosphorus ~11 µg/L) in 2025. 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.
