Fullers Lake: East Basin

Fullers Lake: East Basin earns an A — water clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate among the best monitored waters in Beltrami County. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Trophically, Fullers Lake: East Basin reads as oligotrophic — nutrient-poor, clear, and ecologically more sensitive to disturbance than richer lakes. 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 Beltrami County's 86 graded waters, Fullers Lake: East Basin sits at rank 1, near the top of the local distribution.

Fullers Lake: East Basin has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2025, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Fullers Lake: East Basin, 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.
