Lej-08 Lake vs Lmj-16 Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Lmj-16 Lake has a higher water quality grade (C, Fair) than Lej-08 Lake (D, Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.
Both Lej-08 Lake and Lmj-16 Lake sit in Indiana. 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: Lej-08 Lake (D) and Lmj-16 Lake (C) 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.
Lej-08 Lake
Very murky, less than 1.5 ft of visibility.
Lmj-16 Lake
Murky, only visible to about 4.1 ft.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Lej-08 Lake | Lmj-16 Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | D (Poor) | C (Fair) |
| Water Clarity | 1.5 ft | 4.1 ft |
| Phosphorus | No data | No data |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 24.1 µg/L | 12.7 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 460 acres | 84 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
Lmj-16 Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade C versus Lej-08 Lake's Grade D. Water clarity: 4.1 ft vs 1.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Lmj-16 Lake also leads with 0 species.
