Fulton County Lake Quality

New York, 35 lakes, measured by NY DEC

There are 35 monitored lakes in Fulton County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. The 35 monitored lakes in Fulton County carry whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings NY DEC 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.
