Lost Lake

Lost Lake sits at a C on the grading scale — not impaired, not pristine, with summer measurements that vary year to year.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Lost 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. Lost Lake ranks 70 of 76 in Hubbard County — at the lower end of the locally monitored distribution.

Lost Lake has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2022, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Lost 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.
