Agamok Lake
Lake County, MinnesotaLimited DataMesotrophic
Agamok Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.
Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Agamok Lake: enough nutrients for a healthy fishery, not so much that algal blooms become a chronic problem. The lake's maximum depth is not yet documented in state morphometric records — context for its physical structure remains limited. The lake's surface area is not consistently recorded across state datasets — physical context remains partial. Agamok Lake ranks 65 of 142 in Lake County — solidly in the upper half of the local distribution.
Agamok Lake has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2021, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Agamok Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Agamok Lake — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. Monitoring depth is thin here: the LakeGrade rubric is applied to a small number of sample years, and the grade will be revised as more data accumulates.
