Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 13–20.9 feet on our readings, averaging 17.9 feet, from 93 readings. Our water temperature readings average 67°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 47°F and the warmest is 79°F; the warmest monthly average is 75°F. pH averages 8.3. These readings span 2017–2025.
