Drewery Lake vs Little Wolf Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Drewery Lake and Little Wolf Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of B (Good). Both are in Minnesota.
Drewery Lake and Little Wolf Lake are both in Minnesota — 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 — Drewery Lake (B) versus Little Wolf 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.
Drewery Lake
Murky, only visible to about 3.5 ft.
Little Wolf Lake
Moderate clarity, visible to about 9.3 ft.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Drewery Lake | Little Wolf Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | B (Good) | B (Good) |
| Water Clarity | 3.5 ft | 9.3 ft |
| Phosphorus | No data | 25 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 2.7 µg/L | No data |
| Maximum Depth | 120 ft | 24 ft |
| Surface Area | 16.0K acres | 524.59 acres |
| Public Access | Yes | Yes |
| Fish Species | 1 | 1 |
| Trophic State | mesotrophic | 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 (Drewery Lake: 3.5 ft, Little Wolf Lake: 9.3 ft) and what you want from the lake. Drewery Lake matches its peer on species count.
