Wyman Lake

Wyman Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. 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.

A TSI near 41 places Wyman Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. A maximum depth of just 8 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 7 acres, with partial shoreline records and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Wyman Lake sits at rank 3 of 4 in Jackson County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

Wyman Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2019, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. 2 fish species are documented at Wyman Lake, a mixed warm-water community typical for Wisconsin lakes of this size. 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.
