• Tuck Lake has less clear water with moderate nutrient concentrations and high algal growth.
• Long-term trends show nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N:P) ratios are decreasing over time. This indicates the potential for algal blooms to be dominated by cyanobacteria (which have the ability to produce toxins).
• No algal blooms were reported for toxin testing in 2024.
Bathymetry map unavailable
This map shows the area of the watershed relative to the area of the lake. Generally speaking, the larger a watershed is relative to a lake, the greater the influence land use practices on lake water quality.
The average of these three TSI indicators during the growing season can be used
to place lakes in one of three broad categories:
<40 = oligotrophic (low productivity),
40 to 50 = mesotrophic (moderate productivity)
>50 = eutrophic (highly productive).
