Crawford County Lake Quality

Crawford County holds 2 monitored lakes. With a sample that small the county-level summary describes those specific waters, not necessarily every water body in the county. Every one of those lakes carries an A–F grade, so the county-level summary covers the full set rather than a monitored subset. With an average grade of B, Crawford County sits comfortably above the Kansas median.

The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the grades sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest lake on the books is Lake Crawford (B); the most-stressed is Lake Crawford (B).
