Sugar Creek Lake vs Sugar Creek Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Sugar Creek Lake has a higher water quality grade (D, Poor) than Sugar Creek Lake (D, Poor). Both are in Randolph County, Wisconsin.
Sugar Creek Lake and Sugar Creek 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. The grades are close: Sugar Creek Lake (D) and Sugar Creek 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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Sugar Creek Lake | Sugar Creek Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | D (Poor) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 2.5 ft | 2.5 ft |
| Phosphorus | 45 µg/L | 50.5 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 22.7 µg/L | 19.3 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 323 acres | 323 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
Sugar Creek Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade D versus Sugar Creek Lake's Grade D. Water clarity: 2.5 ft vs 2.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Sugar Creek Lake also leads with 0 species.
