Kekekabic Pond 3

Kekekabic Pond 3 earns an A — water clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate among the best monitored waters in Lake County. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.

Trophically, Kekekabic Pond 3 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. At 27 acres, Kekekabic Pond 3 sits below the Minnesota median: a small water where shoreline activity has an outsized effect on water quality. Kekekabic Pond 3 ranks 20 of 142 in Lake County, putting it in the upper tier of locally monitored lakes.

No invasive species are currently listed at Kekekabic Pond 3 — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Kekekabic Pond 3, 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.
