Un Lake

Langlade County, WisconsinLimited DataOligotrophic

Un Lake earns an A — water clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate among the best monitored waters in Langlade County. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

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. Un Lake ranks 14 of 32 in Langlade County — solidly in the upper half of the local distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Un Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Un Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. 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.
