Fawn Lake

Fawn Lake comes in at a B on the grading rubric — a respectable showing for a Wisconsin lake of its size and depth. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Fawn 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. At 19 acres, Fawn Lake sits below the Wisconsin median: a small water where shoreline activity has an outsized effect on water quality. Within Adams County's 19 graded lakes, Fawn Lake ranks 10 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

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