Lake Pulse launches November 1st.

Telehealth for lakes

Telehealth for lakes.
Really.

Data, tools, and expert help — without hiring a consultant to get started.

Boards transition. Consultants come and go. A local government's involvement rises and falls with funding. What stays is your lake's permanent* record.

What “permanent” means

Everyone who loves a lake has a stake in its health & safety.

Tell us who you are, and we'll show you what Lake Pulse does for you.

About

What is Lake Pulse, and how does it work?

A place to keep your lake's data, a way to make more of it, and people to ask when you're not sure what it means.

Portal

The Portal is where your lake's data actually lives.

Your dashboard, map, Lake Snapshot, analytics, field notes and images, past events and programs — plus the neighbors who subscribe on your lake. The Lake Pulse app brings that same record to the shoreline, so you can check conditions and log observations on the water.

More about the Portal

Toolbox

The Toolbox is how you produce new data of high spatiotemporal resolution.

Lab kits, field tests, real-time buoys, satellite imagery, drone surveys — mostly DIY, shipped to your front door. Every item says what it measures, where on the lake it belongs, and what it won't tell you.

More about the Toolbox

Boathouse

The Boathouse is where you get guidance from people who speak lake.

Not a treatment company, not a consultancy — just limnologists and experienced lake people you can ask when you're not sure what the data mean. Available to Plus, Lake Admin, and PRO subscribers.

Lake Atlas

Every lake has a public record. Find yours.

Lake Atlas gathers public water quality data from state agencies, universities, and federal sources into one page for each of thousands of lakes in the lower 48.

Atlas Free

A public page for every lake: key values, swim and fish advisories, impairment status, all dated and sourced.

Browse Lake Atlas

Atlas Paid

The full public record for any lake, with complete history, export, and alerts. For consultants, real estate and insurance agents, and lake managers.

See Atlas Paid

Atlas is the public record. Your lake's Lake Pulse portal holds your community's own data.

How to get started

All your lake's health & safety data — past, present, and future — in one place.

Start with what already exists.

Agency records, old lab reports, volunteer readings, consultant studies. We pull them into one shared record before you spend a dollar on new sampling.

Decide where your lake needs eyes.

A lake is many places at once. The boat landing, the deep hole, and the far cove behave nothing alike. Pick the spots and the seasons that matter to you.

Choose your tools.

Lab kits, field tests, real-time buoys, satellite, drone. Every item in the Toolbox says what it measures, what it can't, and when it's worth buying. You decide.

Read the trend, ask Lake Pulse.

Every result lands in your lake's shared record in plain language. Not sure what it means? Ask Lake Pulse — we're here to help, and Plus, Lake Admin, and PRO subscribers can bring deeper questions to the Boathouse.

Why subscribe

Why would I subscribe to Lake Pulse?

It depends on who you are and your relationship with your lake. Here's what Lake Pulse does for each of the five people who care most about it.

Lake Associations/HOAs

Run your lake on data, not memory.

Board terms end and volunteers move. Lake Pulse keeps your lake's history, sampling, and reporting on one record that stays with the lake.

Homeowner

Your shoreline, on the record.

When the water changes, it changes whether the kids swim and what your home is worth. Lake Pulse keeps your lake's condition in your lake's permanent record — one you can point to.

Alerts when conditions change
History you can show a buyer or insurer
A voice in how your lake is managed

Stay open. Know first.

A beach closure or an algae headline can cost a season. Lake Pulse helps you see conditions change early and answer guests with a documented record.

A documented record to show guests and insurers
Continuity through the season

Government

A permanent record between sampling events.

Sampling is episodic; decisions aren't. Lake Pulse keeps what's measured on one permanent record, so the gaps between events stop being blind spots.

Ingests data from any sensor or lab
Supports state reporting
Complements, not replaces, existing programs

Know before you go in.

You spend more hours on this water than most people who live on it. Lake Pulse shows what you can't see from the dock, recorded with a date and a source.
