Weyers Lake

Weyers Lake earns a C — middle-of-the-pack water quality, with one or two parameters dragging the average down from a stronger grade. High phosphorus is the leading drag on the score — likely from upland agriculture, lawn runoff, or in-lake sediment release.

A TSI in the eutrophic range signals a lake doing what nutrient-loaded waters do — supporting an active algal community at the cost of clear water. The lake bottoms out at 32 ft — a moderate depth that supports a warm-water fishery without the year-round cold refuge a deeper basin provides. The lake is compact at 6 acres, with partial shoreline records and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Weyers Lake ranks 17 of 18 in Manitowoc County — at the lower end of the locally monitored distribution.

No invasive species are currently listed at Weyers Lake — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The fishery is bass-led, with 2 documented species across the lake's records. Public access is available — the lake is on the Wisconsin DNR public-access list. 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.
