Camelot Lake vs Friendship Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Camelot Lake has a higher water quality grade (B, Good) than Friendship Lake (C, Fair). Both are in Adams County, Wisconsin.
Both Camelot Lake and Friendship Lake sit in Wisconsin. A same-state comparison strips out the state-level water-quality regime as a variable: any grade differences here are about the lakes themselves, not the agencies grading them. The grades are close: Camelot Lake (B) and Friendship Lake (C) 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.
Camelot Lake
Moderate clarity, visible to about 8 ft.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Camelot Lake | Friendship Lake |
