Lake Sherwood vs Wazeecha Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Wazeecha Lake has a higher water quality grade (B, Good) than Lake Sherwood (C, Fair). Both are in Wisconsin.
Lake Sherwood and Wazeecha Lake are both in Wisconsin — 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: Lake Sherwood (C) and Wazeecha Lake (B) 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.
Lake Sherwood
Murky, only visible to about 5.5 ft.
Wazeecha Lake

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Lake Sherwood | Wazeecha Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | B (Good) |
| Water Clarity | 5.5 ft | 7 ft |
| Phosphorus | 22.6 µg/L | 11.6 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 246 acres | 148 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | eutrophic | mesotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Wazeecha Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade B versus Lake Sherwood's Grade C. Water clarity: 7 ft vs 5.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Wazeecha Lake also leads with 0 species.
