Outline
Drawn from the DNR's 24K hydrography (surveyed 1980), so the shape is approximate and a landing can sit a little off the shore. Open the DNR lake map.
Water clarity
1.5 ft Secchi depthLow

A computer model of this lake's typical weather and water, built from 15 years, 2005 to 2019. Ranges show the middle half of years. The model was not calibrated against measured temperatures for this lake. It is an estimate, not a measurement.
Modeled: U.S. Geological Survey lake temperature data release (doi:10.5066/P9CA6XP8).
