Unnamed Lake

The LakeGrade rubric puts Unnamed Lake at a C: clarity readings still being added, 31 µg/L of phosphorus, and a TSI of 54 signal an intermediate trophic state. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Eutrophic conditions are the baseline here: clarity drops noticeably in late summer, and dissolved oxygen near the bottom can become a concern. A maximum depth of just 10 ft means sediment-bound phosphorus releases back into the water column whenever wind stirs the bottom — a classic shallow-lake dynamic. The lake is compact at 9 acres, with partial shoreline records and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Unnamed Lake sits at rank 21 of 33 in Langlade County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Unnamed Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin 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. 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.
