DNR Report 1979 - 2024

This figure show water clarity over time on this lake. The trend analysis was performed with a Seasonal Mann Kendall test. This statistical test detects changes in water clarity over time by comparing months across years (example - Mays are compared to Mays, Junes to Junes, etc…). For lakes with enough data, the figures include a trend line, which shows the direction of detected changes in water clarity. The gray area around the trend line represents the range where the actual clarity measure will fall with 95% certainty.
For years 1979 to 2024 there is evidence of no change in water clarity at this lake. For the most recent year of the analysis, median water clarity was 2.01 feet higher than the watershed median.
