Timiskaming District County Lake Quality

Ontario, 88 lakes, average grade B (Good)

Timiskaming District County has 88 graded lakes, enough that within-county variation matters as much as the county average. Some are deep glacial basins, others are shallow agricultural-watershed waters, and the grade distribution reflects that mix. The county-wide average lands at B — solid water quality with most lakes carrying clear summer transparency and low-to-moderate phosphorus.

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 Fairy Lake (A); the most-stressed is Skeleton Lake (D).
