Alpine Lake vs White River Pond
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Alpine Lake has a higher water quality grade (B, Good) than White River Pond (C, Fair). Both are in Waushara County, Wisconsin.
Alpine Lake and White River Pond are both in Wisconsin — 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. These two are within a letter of each other on the rubric — Alpine Lake (B) versus White River Pond (C). The deciding factors for a recreational visitor are likely physical (depth, access, fish species) rather than water-quality differences.
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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Alpine Lake | White River Pond |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | B (Good) | C (Fair) |
| Water Clarity | No data | 9.6 ft |
| Phosphorus | 22.9 µg/L | No data |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 80 acres | 64 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | mesotrophic | mesotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Alpine Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade B versus White River Pond's Grade C. For fishing diversity, Alpine Lake also leads with 0 species.
