CLMP+ Report on Wood Lake (Crow Wing County)

Document
Description
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) conducts and supports lake monitoring activities to determine if water quality supports recreational uses (swimming, wading, boating, etc.) of lakes, and to measure and compare regional differences and trends in water quality with lakes from all over the state. MPCA staff, local partners (soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, tribal entities, etc.), and citizens all play a role in sampling lake water quality. As part of the MPCA's Advanced Citizen Lake Monitoring Program (CLMP+), Jan Skjolsvik and Galen Wittenberg measured water quality in Wood Lake from May-September in 2013 and 2014. Wood Lake is located in Crow Wing County, approximately 10 miles southwest of Outing, Minnesota. It is 91 acres in size and has a maximum depth of 11.6 meters (38 feet). CLMP+ volunteers measured water transparency, collected temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles weekly, and collected water chemistry samples monthly. This report provides a summary of the water quality data and of other physical and ecological characteristics of the lake.
