Cedar Lake

Cedar Lake earns an A — every scored parameter (clarity and phosphorus) rates among the best monitored waters in Manitowoc County. The two scored sub-grades — clarity and phosphorus — track close together, so neither one is dragging the average down.

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Wisconsin lakes fall. 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. Cedar Lake ranks 2 of 18 in Manitowoc County, putting it in the upper tier of locally monitored lakes.

No invasive species are currently listed at Cedar Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Cedar 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.
