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.
