Peaceful Valley Lake vs Seetal Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Seetal Lake has a higher water quality grade (B, Good) than Peaceful Valley Lake (C, Fair). Both are in Gasconade County, Wisconsin.
Both Peaceful Valley Lake and Seetal Lake sit in Missouri. 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 — Peaceful Valley Lake (C) versus Seetal Lake (B). 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.
Peaceful Valley Lake
Murky, only visible to about 3.8 ft.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Peaceful Valley Lake | Seetal Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | B (Good) |
| Water Clarity | 3.8 ft | 7.2 ft |
| Phosphorus | 24.5 µg/L | 17 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 12.7 µg/L | 5.9 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 164 acres | 14 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | eutrophic | mesotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Seetal Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade B versus Peaceful Valley Lake's Grade C. Water clarity: 7.2 ft vs 3.8 ft. For fishing diversity, Seetal Lake also leads with 0 species.
