Lamar County Lake Quality
Texas, 7 lakes, measured by TCEQ
Lamar County holds 7 monitored lakes. With a sample that small the county-level summary describes those specific waters, not necessarily every water body in the county. 3 of those lakes carry recent nutrient and algae readings. The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. Phosphorus and algae readings vary widely across Lamar County; the per-lake pages below carry the numbers.
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 Upper Pat Mayse Reservoir.
