East Carroll Parish County Lake Quality

East Carroll Parish County has 3 monitored lakes — a thin enough sample that one or two stressed lakes can move the county average noticeably. Use the per-lake pages below for what actually matters. Every one of those lakes carries recent nutrient and algae readings, so the county-level summary covers the full set rather than a monitored subset. Phosphorus and algae readings vary widely across East Carroll Parish County; the per-lake pages below carry the numbers.

The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the readings sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest measured lake is Gassoway Lake East of Kilbourne.
