Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 19.3–25 feet on our readings, averaging 22.3 feet, from 36 readings. Our water temperature readings average 73°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. These readings span 2017–2018. The latest reading is from 2018, more than three years ago: read these numbers as history, not as the water today.
