The shore entry is a little tough with deep muck and tree branches. Once you are in, the bottom is generally sandy with some muck as well. Lots of underwater vegetation, and a fair amount of common lake fish like bass, perch, and bluegill. A pretty quick and easy location to access for some decent visibility and aquatic life.

Not bad for quick local dives. You should see the common lake fish and plenty of vegetation. The water tends to be on the green side.
