Leon County Lake Quality

Florida, 90 lakes, measured by Florida DEP

Leon County in Florida carries 90 monitored lakes — one of the lake-richer counties in our dataset. Coverage that dense usually reflects active lake-association sampling alongside state-agency monitoring. 34 of those lakes carry recent nutrient and algae readings. The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. Most monitored lakes in Leon County carry favourable nutrient and algae readings for Florida.

The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the readings sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest measured lake is Leon-Blue Heron Lake.
