Neglige Lake

Neglige Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.

A TSI near 42 places Neglige Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. Neglige Lake is unusually deep for Minnesota at 58 ft, which buffers the lake against summer warming and helps the deep water stay oxygenated. The lake is compact at 32 acres, with 1.5 miles of shoreline and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Within Lake County's 142 graded lakes, Neglige Lake ranks 72 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

No invasive species are currently listed at Neglige Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. 1 fish species are documented at Neglige Lake, a mixed warm-water community typical for Minnesota lakes of this size. No formal public access is documented at Neglige Lake — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. 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.
