Skice Lake

Menominee County, WisconsinLimited DataMesotrophic

Skice Lake earns a C — middle-of-the-pack water quality, with one or two parameters dragging the average down from a stronger grade. Sub-grades cluster within a single letter of each other, which usually means the lake is in stable trophic balance rather than fighting one specific stressor.

The lake sits in the mesotrophic zone — the band where most well-managed Wisconsin 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. Within the 5 graded lakes of Menominee County, Skice Lake sits at rank 4, near the bottom of the county list.

Skice Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2026, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Skice 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.
