Frog Lake

Florence County, WisconsinMesotrophic

Frog Lake comes in at a B on the grading rubric — a respectable showing for a Wisconsin lake of its size and depth. Secchi readings are the weakest of the three parameters, suggesting suspended sediment or algal biomass dominates the optical signal.

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Wisconsin lakes fall. 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 39 graded lakes in Florence County, Frog Lake sits at rank 13, above the county median.

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