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 1972), so the shape is approximate and a landing can sit a little off the shore. Open the DNR lake map.
Water clarity
5.2 ft Secchi depthModerateOlder reading
Last measured Sep 8, 2000. 2 readings on record, 1999 to 2000.

Nothing has been measured in the last 5 years, so this may not match the lake today.
Secchi depth is how far down a white disk stays visible. A bigger number means clearer water. Clear means a Secchi depth of 10 feet or more, moderate 5 to 10 feet, low under 5 feet.
