LakeGrade

LakeGrade grades every monitored lake in Minnesota and Wisconsin A through F based on water clarity, phosphorus, and algae levels. Compare your lake to its neighbors.

Flagship of the outdoor-recreation network. EPA Water Quality Portal data becomes an A–F grade for every monitored lake, a page for each one captures '[lake] water quality' and 'cleanest lakes near me' trip-planning intent from cabin owners and vacationers, and that high-intent traffic converts through Stay22 lakeside-lodging affiliate placements + email. lakequality.org is the template every other recreation site clones.
