Beaver Lake

One of Lake Country's most private waters: Beaver Lake is spring-fed, clear, and among the hardest shorelines to buy into.

The Beaver Water Record

Clarity, trophic state, and nutrients - pulled from Wisconsin DNR lake monitoring and refreshed each open-water monitoring season (roughly May-October; quiet over winter).

Limited monitoring data
Beaver is a small, quiet spring lake the DNR samples only rarely. Its most recent water-clarity reading dates to 2008 and chlorophyll to the 1990s - too sparse to publish a current clarity trend or a trophic-state grade without misleading you. We'd rather tell you that than dress up a stale number as if it were live. If the DNR resumes regular sampling, this record fills in automatically.

Blue-green algae

Wisconsin doesn’t routinely monitor inland lakes for blue-green algae - the state tracks blooms by report, not on a schedule, so no lake carries an official season-by-season advisory record. See a bloom? Avoid contact until it clears and report it to the DNR →
