Of the 3 lakes within 30 miles of it with nutrient and algae readings on record, none reads lower than Osceola-Buck Lake, so Osceola-Buck Lake is the cleanest measured water in that radius. Lakes nearby without enough recent sampling to earn a letter are not part of that comparison.

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 Osceola-Buck Lake only with neighbouring lakes in Floridathat carry readings of their own, within 30 miles. A nearby lake with too little recent sampling has no letter to compare, so it is absent from the table rather than ranked below. Where a driving distance is not published for a lake, the table says so instead of estimating one.
