Laxon Lake

Laxon Lake earns an A — every scored parameter (phosphorus) rates among the best monitored waters in Beltrami County.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Laxon Lake: enough nutrients for a healthy fishery, not so much that algal blooms become a chronic problem. 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. Among the 92 graded lakes in Beltrami County, Laxon Lake ranks 21 — in the top quartile locally.

No invasive species are currently listed at Laxon Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Laxon Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. 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.
