Powers Lake vs Powers Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Powers Lake and Powers Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of A (Excellent). Both are in Kenosha County, Wisconsin.
Powers Lake and Powers 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: Powers Lake (A) and Powers Lake (A) 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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Powers Lake | Powers Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | A (Excellent) | A (Excellent) |
| Water Clarity | 10 ft | 10 ft |
| Phosphorus | 17 µg/L | 17.4 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | 33 ft | 33 ft |
| Surface Area | 451 acres | 451 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 5 | 5 |
| Trophic State | mesotrophic | mesotrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Both lakes earn the same Grade A. The tiebreakers come down to clarity (Powers Lake: 10 ft, Powers Lake: 10 ft) and what you want from the lake. Powers Lake matches its peer on species count.
