Sebie Lake

Sebie Lake sits at a C on the grading scale — not impaired, not pristine, with summer measurements that vary year to year. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.

A TSI in the eutrophic range signals a lake doing what nutrient-loaded waters do — supporting an active algal community at the cost of clear water. Sebie Lake reaches 27 ft at its deepest point — typical for Minnesota mid-sized lakes, with seasonal stratification but limited cold-water refuge. At 185 acres, Sebie Lake fits the Minnesota median for monitored lakes, with 2.3 miles of shoreline. Within the 120 graded lakes of Crow Wing County, Sebie Lake sits at rank 113, near the bottom of the county list.

No invasive species are currently listed at Sebie Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. Walleye are documented at Sebie Lake, one of 15 fish species on record for the lake. A documented public access point at Sebie Lake makes the lake usable for shore fishing, paddle craft, and trailered boats. Ice-out has been recorded 6 times at Sebie Lake, with a median around Apr 5. The grade is based on limited monitoring — fewer than three independent measurement years contribute, so future updates may shift the letter.
