The name is appropriate
Crystal clear lake, sandy bottom, no motors allowed. It lies within the state park with a few very nice beaches for the family. Great for kayaking. Not certain of the fishing, but as clear as the water is, and without a lot of weeds and structure that I could see I'm not sure how productive it would be. But a great lake for the family and wonderful campsites right on the water if you camp.

one of the least quality lakes in the county as far as overall size of fish. However there are many different kinds of jet skier's that are found on this lake. To catch them you have to be careful. I recommend using a #4 treble hook tipped with bell sinker. Fish for them out in the depths, they like to hang out on the mud flats.

The amount of carp in this lake in unbelevable. And because I love carp I give this lake a 5. Also, there are bonus abundant bullhead. As far as gamefish I talked to a guy that lived on the lake and said that there used to be Muskies and Walleye but the native amaricans speared them all.
