Marinette County Lake Quality
Wisconsin, 65 lakes, measured by Wisconsin DNR
Marinette County has 65 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. 10 of those lakes carry recent nutrient and algae readings. The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. Most monitored lakes in Marinette County carry favourable nutrient and algae readings for Wisconsin.
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 King Lake.
