Goose Creek Lake vs Port Perry Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Goose Creek Lake and Port Perry Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of A (Excellent). Both are in Wisconsin.
Both Goose Creek Lake and Port Perry 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. The grades are close: Goose Creek Lake (A) and Port Perry Lake (A) 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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Goose Creek Lake | Port Perry Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | A (Excellent) | A (Excellent) |
| Water Clarity | 9.9 ft | 12 ft |
| Phosphorus | 9.5 µg/L | 8.3 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 2 µg/L | 2.1 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 379 acres | 187 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | oligotrophic | oligotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Both lakes earn the same Grade A. The tiebreakers come down to clarity (Goose Creek Lake: 9.9 ft, Port Perry Lake: 12 ft) and what you want from the lake. Goose Creek Lake matches its peer on species count.
