Dubois Lake
Burnett County, WisconsinLimited DataMesotrophic
Dubois Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season.
Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Dubois 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. Among the 57 graded lakes in Burnett County, Dubois Lake sits at rank 24, above the county median.
Dubois Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2022, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Dubois 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.
