Eutrophic Lakes in Missouri

192 eutrophic lakes in Missouri. High nutrients, frequent algae, reduced clarity.

Eutrophic lakes — TSI 50 to 70 — are nutrient-rich and productive, with persistent summer algal communities that drive visible reductions in clarity. These conditions are not failures; they reflect a lake doing what nutrient-loaded waters do. 192 Missouri lakes register as eutrophic. Only 0% are deep — eutrophy correlates with shallowness, agricultural watersheds, and the kind of nutrient-input history that takes decades to shift.

Eutrophic lakes typically grade C or D on the LakeGrade rubric. The same nutrient richness that defines the trophic class drives the lower grade.
