Jackrabbit Lake vs Raintree Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Raintree Lake has a higher water quality grade (F, Very Poor) than Jackrabbit Lake (F, Very Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.
Both Jackrabbit Lake and Raintree 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: Jackrabbit Lake (F) and Raintree Lake (F) 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.
Jackrabbit Lake
Very murky, less than 1.5 ft of visibility.
Raintree Lake

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Jackrabbit Lake | Raintree Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | F (Very Poor) | F (Very Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 1.5 ft | 2.5 ft |
| Phosphorus | 148.3 µg/L | 66.4 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 40 µg/L | 34.5 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 28 acres | 475 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | hypereutrophic | eutrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Raintree Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade F versus Jackrabbit Lake's Grade F. Water clarity: 2.5 ft vs 1.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Raintree Lake also leads with 0 species.
