Outline
Drawn from the DNR's 24K hydrography (surveyed 1976), so the shape is approximate and a landing can sit a little off the shore. Open the DNR lake map.
Water clarity
3.6 ft Secchi depthLowOlder reading
Last measured Oct 21, 1992. 6 readings on record, 1992.
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.
