DNR lake type
Complex, Riverine
A river-like water type, with flow instead of a still basin. This describes the lake type in general, not this lake in particular.
Outline
Numbered dots are boat landings; tap one for directions. The list below has the same numbers. Drawn from the DNR's 24K hydrography (surveyed 1982), so the shape is approximate and a landing can sit a little off the shore. Open the DNR lake map.
Water clarity (satellite estimate)
- Summer 20163.8 ft (285 satellite pixels)
No one has measured this lake's clarity in the monitoring data. This is an estimate from satellite images of one summer only, so it may not match the lake today.
Secchi depth is how far down a white disk stays visible. A bigger number means clearer water. The estimate tops out at 16 feet.
Landsat satellite estimates published by the Wisconsin DNR (summers 2016 and 2017), averaged over the lake's outline. Informational use only.
Today at the lake
Forecast: National Weather Service (no endorsement implied). Sunrise, sunset and moon phase are calculated. The moon phase can be a day off.
