Noble County Lake Quality

Indiana, 41 lakes, measured by IDEM

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. 10 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 Noble County are productive, shallow basins; each lake page shows its own phosphorus and chlorophyll-a readings beside the EPA condition class.

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 Sparta Lake.
