Park Lake vs Wyona Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Park Lake and Wyona Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of D (Poor). Both are in Columbia County, Wisconsin.
Both Park Lake and Wyona 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. These two are within a letter of each other on the rubric — Park Lake (D) versus Wyona Lake (D). The deciding factors for a recreational visitor are likely physical (depth, access, fish species) rather than water-quality differences.
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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Park Lake | Wyona Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | D (Poor) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | No data | No data |
| Phosphorus | 82.4 µg/L | 86.1 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 312 acres | 93 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
Both lakes earn the same Grade D. The tiebreakers come down to what you want from the lake. Park Lake matches its peer on species count.
