Of the City’s lakes, nine of them (Baldwin, <br />Centerville, George Watch, Marshan, Peltier, Reshanau, Rice, Sherman, and Ward ) are located within or <br />abutting the Chain of Lakes Regional Park. The City lakes generally fall into three shoreland management <br />categories: Natural Environment , Recreational and General Development . The Natural Environment lakes <br />are primarily located in the Chain of Lakes area and include Peltier, George Watch, Marshan, Rice, Ward, <br />Sherman, Cedar, Amelia, Rondeau and Wilkinson . Recreational lakes include Otter, Centerville, <br />Reshanau, and Baldwin . Bald Eagle Lake is a General Development Lake . They are used for a variety of <br />recreational uses such as swimming, boating, fis hing and water skiing. Centerville, Bald Eagle, Peltier <br />and Reshanau Lakes are considered game fishing lakes. <br /> <br />A metric used to evaluate lake water quality is the level of eutrophication, the enrichment of lakes due to <br />excess nutrients such as phosphorus. Although phosphorus is the dominant factor, as both phosphorus and <br />nitrogen concentrations increase in lake water, algae blooms increase. In the extreme, blue -green or scum - <br />forming algae can render a lake unusable for recreation . The degree of eutrophicat ion is characterized by <br />gradations of oligotrophic and eutrophic levels. Oligotrophic lakes have very low nutrient levels, high
