Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake vs Solberg Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Solberg Lake has a higher water quality grade (D, Poor) than Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake (F, Very Poor). Both are in Price County, Wisconsin.
Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake and Solberg 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: Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake (F) and Solberg Lake (D) 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.
Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake
Very murky, less than 3.2 ft of visibility.
Solberg Lake

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake | Solberg Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | F (Very Poor) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 3.2 ft | 2.9 ft |
| Phosphorus | No data | 33.4 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 71 acres | 859 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
Solberg Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade D versus Lower Park Falls Flowage Lake's Grade F. Water clarity: 2.9 ft vs 3.2 ft. For fishing diversity, Solberg Lake also leads with 0 species.
