Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
Last sampled Aug 2018Volunteer monitoring 1993–2018
DNR volunteers monitored this lake for about 25 years, ending in 2018. Its final monitored summers showed slight haze water (~8 ft Secchi) in 2018, low algae (chlorophyll ~3 µg/L) in 2016, and very low nutrients (phosphorus ~5 µg/L) in 1994. After 8 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
