This spring fed lake has a 85% muck and 15% sand mix that makes up the bottom, it has a maximum depth of 30 feet. The lake's water is moderately clear. Visitors have access to the lake from a public boat landing on the West side. Fishermen can expect to catch Panfish, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike.
