1h Lake vs Lake Nockamixon

Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.

1h Lake and Lake Nockamixon both received the same overall water quality grade of D (Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.

1h Lake and Lake Nockamixon are both in Pennsylvania — a same-state head-to-head where the comparison comes down to lake-specific differences in depth, watershed, and monitoring history rather than the broader state-level water-quality regime. The grades are close: 1h Lake (D) and Lake Nockamixon (D) are within one letter of each other on the LakeGrade rubric. The per-parameter sub-grades below will show where the small differences actually live.

With grades this close, the choice between the two lakes turns on non-water-quality factors: depth, fish species, public access, distance from home. The per-lake pages below cover all of those.

Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).

Verdict

Both lakes earn the same Grade D. The tiebreakers come down to what you want from the lake. 1h Lake matches its peer on species count.
