Point Lake

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

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Wisconsin lakes fall. At only 7 ft deep, Point Lake is shallow — wind keeps the water column mixed and sediment resuspension drives phosphorus levels harder to manage. At 136 acres, Point Lake fits the Wisconsin median for monitored lakes, with partial shoreline records. Within Burnett County's 57 graded lakes, Point Lake ranks 38 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

An invasive species record — Banded Mystery Snail — has been logged at Point Lake; Wisconsin DNR maintains the official infested-waters list. The fishery is bass-led, with 2 documented species across the lake's records. 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.
