Wayne County Lake Quality

Pennsylvania, 97 lakes, measured by PA DEP

Wayne County has 97 monitored 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 measurements reflect that mix. 5 of those lakes carry recent nutrient and algae readings. The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. For Wayne County the spread behind the average matters more than the average itself: a few nutrient-rich lakes among many clear ones produce the same figure as the inverse.

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 Belmont Lake.
