Chevans Lake Y

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

Eutrophic conditions are the baseline here: clarity drops noticeably in late summer, and dissolved oxygen near the bottom can become a concern. 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, Chevans Lake Y sits at rank 110, near the bottom of the county list.

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