Document Title: Balm Lake 04-0329-00 -BELTRAMI COUNTY Lake Water Quality
Date Issued: 2017
Description: Balm Lake has no inlets or outlets, which classifies it as a groundwater seepage lake. Because it is groundwater fed, Balm Lake could be subject to large swings in water levels due to precipitation fluctuations. Water quality data have been collected on Balm Lake in 2005-2016. These data show that the lake is at the oligotrophic/mesotrophic border, which is characteristic of clear water throughout the summer and excellent recreational opportunities.
