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

6.4 ft Secchi depthModerateOlder reading

Last measured Sep 8, 2000. 2 readings on record, 1999 to 2000.

Only a few readings are on record.

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.
