Aztalan State Park is a Wisconsin State Park covering 46,209 acres. State parks are the most heavily-developed of the public-land designations — campground, picnic, boat-launch, interpretive-center. The park is paired with 6 measured lakes nearby, enough for a multi-lake visit; each lake page carries its own clarity, phosphorus and algae readings.
State parks pair well with the lake pages: the park itself usually has interpretive signage explaining the local lake system, but the per-lake readings tell you which actual lake in the system to head to.
