Wlv180 Lake vs Wwe-02 Lake
Water quality, depth, fish species, and recreation comparison.
Wwe-02 Lake has a higher water quality grade (D, Poor) than Wlv180 Lake (F, Very Poor). Both are in Wisconsin.
Wlv180 Lake and Wwe-02 Lake are both in Indiana — 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 — Wlv180 Lake (F) versus Wwe-02 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 | Wlv180 Lake | Wwe-02 Lake |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Grade | F (Very Poor) | D (Poor) |
| Water Clarity | 1.5 ft | 2.3 ft |
| Phosphorus | No data | No data |
| Chlorophyll-a (Algae) | 148 µg/L | 29 µg/L |
| Maximum Depth | - | - |
| Surface Area | 99.46 acres | 300.65 acres |
| Public Access | Unknown | Unknown |
| Fish Species | 0 | 0 |
| Trophic State | hypereutrophic | eutrophic |
Bold value = better for that metric (lower phosphorus / chlorophyll = cleaner; higher Secchi / depth / species count = better).
Verdict
Wwe-02 Lake wins on overall water quality with a Grade D versus Wlv180 Lake's Grade F. Water clarity: 2.3 ft vs 1.5 ft. For fishing diversity, Wwe-02 Lake also leads with 0 species.
