- Last reported Trophic State Index (TSI): 43/Mesotrophic. Based on Chlorophyll.
What does this mean?
Mesotrophic lakes contain moderate amounts of nutrients, and contain healthy, diverse populations of aquatic plants, algae, and fish. Occasional algae blooms may occur. Mesotrophic lakes are characterized by moderately clear water, but have an increasing chance of low dissolved oxygen in deep water during the summer. - Secchi Disk: Average summer reading 8.8 ft.
- 5-year Average Summer Chemistry:
Summer Chlorophyll 5 µg/l.
Summer Total Phosphorus 23 µg/l.
TSI: 45 based on Chlorophyll readings.
- 10-year Average late summer trophic status compared to other deep seepage lakes. Averages (red) from the last 10 years compared to other lakes (gray).
