Peysenske Lake

Hubbard County, MinnesotaLimited DataOligotrophic

On the LakeGrade rubric, Peysenske Lake pulls an A: clarity at 15.0 ft and phosphorus readings still being added put it in the top bracket for Minnesota.

The lake's low TSI puts it in oligotrophic territory — the cleanest of the four trophic classes, but also the most vulnerable to nutrient-driven shifts. 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 76 graded lakes in Hubbard County, Peysenske Lake sits at rank 22, above the county median.

Peysenske Lake has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2023, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Peysenske Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Peysenske Lake — most use is by shoreline residents and their guests. The lake has a partial ice record — 6 observed ice-outs, centered near Apr 26. 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.
