Center Lakelanding

Cook County, MinnesotaLimited Data

Center Lakelanding grades an F: every scored parameter (clarity) rates poorly, placing it among the most stressed lakes monitored in Minnesota.

There is not yet enough seasonal data to settle the lake's trophic classification — the TSI window remains too narrow to call. 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 the 128 graded lakes of Cook County, Center Lakelanding sits at rank 116, near the bottom of the county list.

No invasive species are currently listed at Center Lakelanding — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Center Lakelanding, 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.
