Halverson Lake

Halverson Lake comes in at a B on the grading rubric — a respectable showing for a Minnesota 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.

A TSI near 46 places Halverson Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. A maximum depth of 32 ft puts Halverson Lake in the middle of Minnesota's depth distribution. The lake is compact at 21 acres, with 1.4 miles of shoreline and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Within the 77 graded lakes of Hubbard County, Halverson Lake sits at rank 59, near the bottom of the county list.

Halverson Lake has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2024, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The fishery is bass-led, with 6 documented species across the lake's records. A documented public access point at Halverson Lake makes the lake usable for shore fishing, paddle craft, and trailered boats. 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.
