Allequash Lake

Allequash Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. The lake's weakest score is on Secchi depth — the water looks more turbid than its phosphorus number alone would predict.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Allequash 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. Within Vilas County's 191 graded lakes, Allequash Lake ranks 119 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

Allequash Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2022, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Allequash Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
