Henry Lake

Henry Lake grades an F: every scored parameter (clarity) rates poorly, placing it among the most stressed lakes monitored in Minnesota.

A TSI above 70 puts Henry 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. Within the 55 graded lakes of Stearns County, Henry Lake sits at rank 54, near the bottom of the county list.

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