Marquette County Lake Quality

Wisconsin, 31 lakes, measured by Wisconsin DNR

There are 31 monitored lakes in Marquette County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. 11 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 Marquette County carry favourable nutrient and algae readings for Wisconsin.

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. White Lake has the lowest nutrient and algae readings in the county.
