Port Hudson Lake vs Seetal Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Seetal Lake has a higher water quality grade (B, Good) than Port Hudson Lake (C, Fair). Both are in Wisconsin.
Port Hudson Lake and Seetal Lake are both in Missouri — 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. These two are within a letter of each other on the rubric — Port Hudson 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.
Port Hudson Lake
Murky, only visible to about 6.1 ft.
Seetal Lake

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Port Hudson Lake | Seetal Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | B (Good) |
| Water Clarity | 6.1 ft | 7.2 ft |
| Phosphorus | 20.8 µg/L | 17 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 7.5 µg/L | 5.9 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 55 acres | 14 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | mesotrophic | 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 Port Hudson Lake's Grade C. Water clarity: 7.2 ft vs 6.1 ft. For fishing diversity, Seetal Lake also leads with 0 species.
