Gonz Lake

On the LakeGrade rubric Gonz Lake fails the cutoffs — a TSI of 88 and persistent algal pressure put it in the bottom tier.

A TSI above 70 puts Gonz Lake in hypereutrophic territory: visible blooms are common, and clarity rarely climbs even in early summer. 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. Gonz Lake ranks 64 of 64 in Wright County — at the lower end of the locally monitored distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Gonz Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Gonz Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Gonz Lake — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
