Water Quality Information
Summary
Lake Shoecraft appears to be in healthy condition, with high water clarity, low nutrients, and occasional algal blooms. Eurasian watermilfoil is an invasive aquatic plant that has been eradicated, but remains a threat. Maintaining the health of the lake depends on controlling nutrient runoff from the lake shore and watershed and preventing re-introduction of milfoil.
Reports
A comprehensive Snohomish County State of the Lakes Report was produced in 2003 and includes a specific section on Lake Shoecraft. Individual lake updates to this report are provided each year as new data are collected.
Data
Snohomish County Surface Water Management (SWM) together with volunteer lake-monitors have been collecting water quality data for Lake Shoecraft since 1994. Current and historical lake water quality data are available online in SWM's interactive Water Quality Database.
