Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 8.9–11.7 feet on our readings, averaging 10.2 feet, from 44 readings. Our water temperature readings average 69°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 43°F and the warmest is 84°F; the warmest monthly average is 77°F. pH averages 7.6. These readings span 2016–2025.
