Frielund Lake

Hubbard County, MinnesotaMesotrophic

Frielund Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. The lake's weakest score is on Secchi depth — the water looks more turbid than its phosphorus number alone would predict.

A TSI near 41 places Frielund Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. 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 77 graded lakes of Hubbard County, Frielund Lake sits at rank 58, near the bottom of the county list.

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