Fawn Lake vs Sugar Hollow Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Fawn Lake has a higher water quality grade (C, Fair) than Sugar Hollow Lake (D, Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.
Both Fawn Lake and Sugar Hollow Lake sit in Missouri. 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. These two are within a letter of each other on the rubric — Fawn Lake (C) versus Sugar Hollow Lake (D). 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.
Fawn Lake
Murky, only visible to about 3.6 ft.
Sugar Hollow Lake

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Fawn Lake | Sugar Hollow Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 3.6 ft | 3.3 ft |
| Phosphorus | 30 µg/L | 38 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 10.8 µg/L | 15.4 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 25 acres | 17 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | eutrophic | eutrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Fawn Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade C versus Sugar Hollow Lake's Grade D. Water clarity: 3.6 ft vs 3.3 ft. For fishing diversity, Fawn Lake also leads with 0 species.
