Landsat satellite estimate, not a field measurement. Lakes without an estimate are excluded while this filter is set.
Volunteer/agency field measurements: the summer median of the last ten completed seasons. Lakes without enough samples are excluded while this filter is set, and bottom-limited medians are lower bounds — very clear shallow lakes may be missed.
Official DNR adult population estimates. Missing data is unknown, not evidence that a lake was never surveyed. Estimates are not lake rankings.
DNR's public occurrence inventory is non-exhaustive. “No verified record” is not evidence of absence. Species-targeted survey results are not available in a supported public export, so this app does not claim recent non-detection or label any lake AIS-free.
Surface acreage
Leave a field blank to ignore that bound.
From the DNR access-site inventory, which is matched to lakes by name and county. Only lakes with a matched qualifying site are included while these filters are active. An unmatched lake may still have access; these filters cannot identify lakes without access.
