Windsor County Lake Quality

Vermont, 21 lakes, average grade B (Good)

Windsor County's 21 graded lakes fall in the moderate-density bracket for {{stateName}}. The county-level average smooths over real differences — a single agricultural watershed near the southwest corner can pull the average down even if the rest of the county runs clean. 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 Rescue Lake (A); the most-stressed is Knapp Brook Lake (D).
