Jackson County Lake Quality

Wisconsin, 19 lakes, measured by Wisconsin DNR

There are 19 monitored lakes in Jackson County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. The 19 monitored lakes in Jackson County carry whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings Wisconsin DNR 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.
