Pamela Pond

Pamela Pond grades an F: every scored parameter (clarity) rates poorly, placing it among the most stressed lakes monitored in Minnesota.

At a TSI of 65, Pamela Pond reads as eutrophic — nutrient-rich enough that summer algal growth and reduced clarity are expected, not unusual. 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. Pamela Pond ranks 89 of 95 in Hennepin County — at the lower end of the locally monitored distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Pamela Pond — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Pamela Pond, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Pamela Pond — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
