Gull Lake vs Hubert Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Hubert Lake has a higher water quality grade (A, Excellent) than Gull Lake (A, Excellent). Both are in Minnesota.
Gull Lake and Hubert 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. The grades are close: Gull Lake (A) and Hubert 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.
Gull Lake
Good clarity, visible to about 14.5 ft.
Hubert Lake
Crystal clear, you can see 17 ft down.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Gull Lake | Hubert Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | A (Excellent) | A (Excellent) |
| Water Clarity | 14.5 ft | 17 ft |
| Phosphorus | 14 µg/L | 13 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | 80 ft | 83 ft |
| Surface Area | 10.0K acres | 1.3K acres |
| Public Access | Yes | Yes |
| Fish Species | 1 | 1 |
| Trophic State | mesotrophic | oligotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Hubert Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade A versus Gull Lake's Grade A. Water clarity: 17 ft vs 14.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Hubert Lake also leads with 1 species.
