What the comparison covers
A grade on LakeQuality comes from EPA Water Quality Portal samples: phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll-a and turbidity, measured against EPA National Lakes Assessment ecoregion classes. Secchi clarity is shown and is not scored. This page compares Middle Eau Claire Lake only with neighbouring lakes in Wisconsinthat carry a letter of their own.

Where a driving distance is not published for a lake, the table says so instead of estimating one.
