Sugar Hollow Lake vs Sugar Hollow Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Sugar Hollow Lake and Sugar Hollow Lake both received the same overall water quality grade of D (Poor). Both are in Warren County, Wisconsin.
Sugar Hollow Lake and Sugar Hollow 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 — Sugar Hollow Lake (D) versus Sugar Hollow Lake (D). 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.

Side-by-Side Metrics
| Metric | Sugar Hollow Lake | Sugar Hollow Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | D (Poor) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 3.3 ft | 3.3 ft |
| Phosphorus | 38 µg/L | 31.5 µg/L |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 15.4 µg/L | 14.7 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 17 acres | 17 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
Both lakes earn the same Grade D. The tiebreakers come down to clarity (Sugar Hollow Lake: 3.3 ft, Sugar Hollow Lake: 3.3 ft) and what you want from the lake. Sugar Hollow Lake matches its peer on species count.
