Notes
Fox Lake was evaluated for phosphorus and biology every two years from 2012 to 2024. Phosphorus levels were found to be too high, which was reflected in algal blooms. This lake is part of the Rock River TMDL restoration plan, approved in 2011. This lake is also part of the Fox Lake Watershed NPS Nine Key Plan.Pollutant
