Unnamed Lake
Itasca County, MinnesotaLimited DataMesotrophic
The LakeGrade rubric puts Unnamed Lake at a C: clarity at 7.9 ft, phosphorus readings still being added, and a TSI of 47 signal an intermediate trophic state.
A TSI near 47 places Unnamed Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. 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. Unnamed Lake sits at rank 104 of 141 in Itasca County, in the lower half of the local distribution.
No invasive species are currently listed at Unnamed Lake — the lake remains off the Minnesota infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Unnamed 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.
