Condition: Fair (2021) Source
- 5-Year Average Trophic State: 56/Eutrophic (Source: Wisconsin DNR)
- Secchi Disk: Average summer reading 6 ft. (SE Georegion average 7.1 ft.)
Typically, the summer water was reported as MURKY and GREEN.
- Chemistry:
Average summer Chlorophyll 25.3 µg/l (SE Georegion average 20.9 µg/l).
Average summer Total Phosphorus 127.5 µg/l.
May experience noticeable algae blooms. - Trophic State Index (TSI): 59/Eutrophic. What does this mean?
This TSI usually suggests decreased clarity, fewer algal species, oxygen-depleted bottom waters during the summer, plant overgrowth evident, warm-water fisheries (pike, perch, bass, etc.) only.
