Inlet To Dunes Lake

On the LakeGrade scale Inlet To Dunes Lake grades a B, with clarity readings still being added and 29 µg/L of phosphorus placing it above the Wisconsin median.

At a TSI of 53, Inlet To Dunes Lake reads as eutrophic — nutrient-rich enough that summer algal growth and reduced clarity are expected, not unusual. Inlet To Dunes Lake is a shallow lake at 1 ft maximum depth, which means it warms quickly, mixes constantly, and amplifies nutrient inputs. The lake is compact at 48 acres, with partial shoreline records and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Inlet To Dunes Lake sits at rank 7 of 11 in Door County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

Inlet To Dunes Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2021, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Inlet To Dunes 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.
