Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Jul 2016Volunteer monitoring 1993–2016
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 23 years, ending in 2016. Its final monitored summers showed crystal clear water (~19.3 ft Secchi) in 1994, very low algae (chlorophyll ~1 µg/L) in 2016, and very low nutrients (phosphorus ~7 µg/L) in 1994. After 10 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
The DNR station record reports activity through 2019, but LakeList holds no readings after 2016 — check the station reports for anything newer.
