Reeves Lake

On the LakeGrade scale Reeves Lake grades a B, with clarity at 8.0 ft and 21 µg/L of phosphorus placing it above the Minnesota median. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Minnesota lakes fall. 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. Reeves Lake sits at rank 64 of 93 in Becker County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

Reeves Lake has no invasive species recorded in Minnesota state databases as of 2024, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Reeves Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. No formal public access is documented at Reeves 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.
