Lake Julia

On the LakeGrade scale Lake Julia grades a B, with clarity at 7.0 ft and 11 µg/L of phosphorus placing it above the Wisconsin median. Clarity is the limiting factor — phosphorus is reasonable but suspended particles or algal cells keep water transparency below Wisconsin norms.

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Wisconsin lakes fall. Lake Julia reaches 45 ft at its deepest point — typical for Wisconsin mid-sized lakes, with seasonal stratification but limited cold-water refuge. At 404 acres, Lake Julia fits the Wisconsin median for monitored lakes, with partial shoreline records. Lake Julia ranks 49 of 134 in Oneida County — solidly in the upper half of the local distribution.

Lake Julia has at least one documented invasive species (Banded Mystery Snail), so boaters and anglers should observe clean-drain-dry steps when leaving the lake. Walleye are documented at Lake Julia, one of 7 fish species on record for the lake. A documented public access point at Lake Julia 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.
