Chute Pond at

Chute Pond at sits at a C on the grading scale — not impaired, not pristine, with summer measurements that vary year to year. Secchi readings are the weakest of the three parameters, suggesting suspended sediment or algal biomass dominates the optical signal.

At a TSI of 52, Chute Pond at reads as eutrophic — nutrient-rich enough that summer algal growth and reduced clarity are expected, not unusual. The lake bottoms out at 19 ft — a moderate depth that supports a warm-water fishery without the year-round cold refuge a deeper basin provides. At 433 acres, Chute Pond at fits the Wisconsin median for monitored lakes, with partial shoreline records. Within the 62 graded lakes of Oconto County, Chute Pond at sits at rank 52, near the bottom of the county list.

Eurasian watermilfoil is established at Chute Pond at, which can dampen recreational access and pressure the native plant community. The fishery is bass-led, with 3 documented species across the lake's records. Public access is available — the lake is on the Wisconsin DNR public-access list. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
