Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake

The LakeGrade rubric puts Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake at a C: clarity at 5.7 ft, 31 µg/L of phosphorus, and a TSI of 53 signal an intermediate trophic state. 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.

Eutrophic conditions are the baseline here: clarity drops noticeably in late summer, and dissolved oxygen near the bottom can become a concern. Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake reaches 16 ft at its deepest point — typical for Wisconsin mid-sized lakes, with seasonal stratification but limited cold-water refuge. Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake is small — 7 acres alongside partial shoreline records — which makes it sensitive to even modest changes in watershed runoff or recreational pressure. Within Rusk County's 12 graded lakes, Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake ranks 9 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2022, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Unnamed Rusk Co -Deep Hole 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.
