Camelia Lake

On the LakeGrade scale Camelia Lake grades a B, with clarity at 18.0 ft and 33 µg/L of phosphorus placing it above the Wisconsin median. High phosphorus is the leading drag on the score — likely from upland agriculture, lawn runoff, or in-lake sediment release.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Camelia 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. Camelia Lake sits at rank 46 of 77 in Polk County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Camelia Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Camelia Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. 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.
