Wp22-T5b Lake

Wp22-T5b Lake earns a C — middle-of-the-pack water quality, with one or two parameters dragging the average down from a stronger grade. Clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a all rate similarly, so there is no obvious single lever to pull on watershed management.

A TSI near 48 places Wp22-T5b 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. Within the 40 graded lakes of Douglas County, Wp22-T5b Lake sits at rank 33, near the bottom of the county list.

Wp22-T5b 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 Wp22-T5b 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.
