Yellowstone Lake Silting Moderate Outlook
Wisconsin Conservation notes from The Conservationist report on Yellowstone Lake after dam closure in 1954. Sediment sampling over five years shows average annual 112.5 tons per square mile with limited deposition near shores and minimal changes across the lake. Engineering lines in 1954 55 indicate up to about 1.4 feet of fill in localized areas, but overall sedimentation remains slow and tolerable. Natural settling basins above the lake further reduce sediment potential.
