Lake Mendota originated after the Wisconsin glaciation, which occurred approximately 15,000 years ago.Glacial ice, which had covered the Madison lakes (Lakes Mendota, Monona, Kegonsa, and Waubesa) [5] at a thickness of over 300 meters, began to retreat northwest about 14,000 years ago, damming a glacial lake near the City of Middleton that now serves as the source of water for Pheasant Branch ...
The dam's average discharge is 20 cubic meters per second; however, it varies greatly based on lake water levels and the energy company's hydroelectric needs. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] While the flowage's irregular nature makes it difficult to determine an average depth or volume, these determinations can be made for some of the old lake basins ...
Lake Koshkonong has seen many vegetational changes in the past 150 years. Once a deep-water marsh covered with emergent vegetation, the lake was predominantly wetlands filled with reeds, wild rice, and grasses. The wetlands have significantly disappeared since then due to rising water levels caused by higher dams and the ever changing landscape.

[4] Puckaway Lake is a natural formed lake however, the water level has been raised. In 1897, a lock and dam was built on the Fox River by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, eight miles downstream from the lake near Princeton. [5] This was done with hopes of raising the water level enough for commercial use of the river.
Hybrid water milfoil and curly-leaf pondweed have been documented in Green Lake since 1971. A 2014 survey showed that hybrid water milfoil increased in dominance to make up 25% of the aquatic plant species. The most frequently found singular plant species in the lake in 2015 was Eurasian water milfoil at 20% of relative frequency.
Elevated rates of bacteria result in beach advisories and closures across Wisconsin during the summer season. These Wisconsin beaches aren't safe for swimming. See which have elevated E. coli levels
Castle Rock Lake is located in Central Wisconsin between Adams County and Juneau County, at the coordinates 43.9258° the surrounding area of the lake consists of mostly flood plains. The elevation of the lake itself is at a mean sea level of 882 feet (268.834 m). The parent material in the area is mixed sandy alluvium, the A Horizon consists ...
