Noble County Lake Quality

There are 41 monitored lakes in Noble County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. No lake in Noble County has enough sampling behind it for an A–F grade yet. The 41 monitored lakes below carry whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a measurements exist.

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.
