Water visibility you can see down about 10 feet very clear clean well maintained lake owned by the town of Crystal Lake Former quarry rock and sand. Bottom can always catch something. The only live made aloud is worms and leeches catching release. Only you can rent boats there electric motors only I have a beautiful little beach. They also have a shack where you can rent paddle boards very family friendly in the winter. There’s a giant snow hill and nearby lodge where they got live music and food and drinks.
