Round Lake vs Solberg Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Round Lake has a higher water quality grade (C, Fair) than Solberg Lake (D, Poor). Both are in Price County, Wisconsin.
Both Round Lake and Solberg 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: Round Lake (C) and Solberg 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.
Round Lake
Murky, only visible to about 4 ft.
Solberg Lake
Very murky, less than 2.9 ft of visibility.
Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Round Lake | Solberg Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | C (Fair) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 4 ft | 2.9 ft |
| Phosphorus | 27.2 µg/L | 33.4 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | No data | No data |
| Maximum Depth | 24 ft | 16 ft |
| Surface Area | 748 acres | 844 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
Round Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade C versus Solberg Lake's Grade D. Water clarity: 4 ft vs 2.9 ft. For fishing diversity, Round Lake also leads with 0 species.
