Canada Lake vs Peck Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Canada Lake and Peck Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of B (Good). Both are in Fulton County, Wisconsin.
Canada Lake and Peck Lake are both in New York — 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 — Canada Lake (B) versus Peck Lake (B). 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.
Canada Lake
Good clarity, visible to about 13.8 ft.
Peck Lake
Good clarity, visible to about 11.9 ft.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Canada Lake | Peck Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | B (Good) | B (Good) |
| Water Clarity | 13.8 ft | 11.9 ft |
| Phosphorus | No data | No data |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 128 acres | 1.3K acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | oligotrophic | mesotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Both lakes earn the same Grade B. The tiebreakers come down to clarity (Canada Lake: 13.8 ft, Peck Lake: 11.9 ft) and what you want from the lake. Canada Lake matches its peer on species count.
