Pecor Lake

Oconto County, WisconsinLimited DataOligotrophic

Pecor Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Trophically, Pecor Lake reads as oligotrophic — nutrient-poor, clear, and ecologically more sensitive to disturbance than richer lakes. 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. Within Oconto County's 62 graded lakes, Pecor Lake ranks 42 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

Pecor Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2020, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Pecor Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
