Walworth County Lake Quality

Wisconsin, 34 lakes, average grade C (Fair)

There are 34 graded lakes in Walworth County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. Walworth County averages to a C. The distribution behind that average matters more than the letter: a few stressed lakes versus many decent ones can produce the same average as the inverse.

Many of the county's lakes are deep glacial basins — over 50 feet at their deepest point — which gives them thermal stratification and a buffer against summer warming. Geneva Lake (grade A) is the cleanest in the county.
