LAKE WAUBESA AT MC FARLAND
Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Lake Waubesa is a popular lake located in McFarland, Wisconsin. The lake has a rich history, as it was formed during the last ice age and was a critical gathering place for Native American tribes. Today, the lake is an important source of water for the surrounding communities and supports a wide range of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and swimming. The hydrology of the lake is complex, with water flowing in from several different sources, including the Yahara River and several smaller streams. The lake also receives a significant amount of runoff from nearby agricultural areas, which can impact water quality. Despite these challenges, Lake Waubesa remains an important resource for the community and a vital part of Wisconsin's natural landscape.
