Fremont County Lake Quality
Iowa, 1 lake, measured by Iowa DNR
Fremont County holds 1 monitored lake. With a sample that small the county-level summary describes those specific waters, not necessarily every water body in the county. The 1 monitored lake in Fremont County carries whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings Iowa DNR has published, shown as reported.
Most of the county's monitored lakes are shallow, under 50 feet, which means wind keeps the water column mixed all summer and sediment-bound phosphorus releases back into the surface layer whenever the bottom is disturbed.
