Outline
Drawn from the DNR's 24K hydrography (surveyed 1992), so the shape is approximate and a landing can sit a little off the shore. Open the DNR lake map.
Water clarity
7.5 ft Secchi depthModerateOlder reading
Last measured Jul 9, 2001. 3 readings on record, 1999 to 2001.
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.

Recorded in open fish survey and museum records (GBIF). A record shows a fish was found near this lake in that year, not that it is there now, and says nothing about how many. Most coordinates are rounded to about 1 km, so a record is attached only when one lake is the clear match.
Open fish survey and museum records from GBIF; datasets are listed on the sources page. Checked Oct 23, 2026.
