Amelia Lake

Amelia Lake earns a C — middle-of-the-pack water quality, with one or two parameters dragging the average down from a stronger grade. Sub-grades cluster within a single letter of each other, which usually means the lake is in stable trophic balance rather than fighting one specific stressor.

At a TSI of 57, Amelia Lake reads as eutrophic — nutrient-rich enough that summer algal growth and reduced clarity are expected, not unusual. 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. Amelia Lake sits at rank 13 of 24 in Anoka County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

An invasive species record — flowering rush — has been logged at Amelia Lake; Minnesota PCA maintains the official infested-waters list. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Amelia Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Amelia 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.
