Alice Lake

On the LakeGrade scale Alice Lake grades a B, with clarity at 7.2 ft and 21 µg/L of phosphorus placing it above the Minnesota median. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Alice Lake: enough nutrients for a healthy fishery, not so much that algal blooms become a chronic problem. A maximum depth of 21 ft puts Alice Lake in the middle of Minnesota's depth distribution. The lake's 127 acres and 2.9 miles of shoreline put it in the mid-range bucket — large enough for varied use, small enough that watershed inputs reach the whole basin. Alice Lake ranks 63 of 77 in Hubbard County — at the lower end of the locally monitored distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Alice Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. Walleye are documented at Alice Lake, one of 11 fish species on record for the lake. No formal public access is documented at Alice Lake — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
