Muskego Lake vs Wind Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Muskego Lake has a higher water quality grade (C, Fair) than Wind Lake (D, Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.
Both Muskego Lake and Wind Lake sit in Wisconsin. 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: Muskego Lake (C) and Wind 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.
Muskego Lake
No clarity data.
Wind Lake
Moderate clarity, visible to about 8.5 ft.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Muskego Lake | Wind Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | No data | 8.5 ft |
| Phosphorus | 59.4 µg/L | 90.3 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | 23 ft | 47 ft |
| Surface Area | 2.2K acres | 919 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
Muskego Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade C versus Wind Lake's Grade D. For fishing diversity, Muskego Lake also leads with 0 species.
