 ==== Water Character ====
-It is a lake and an old mill pond.  Expect some industrial elements in the area and it is not far from Hwy 20.  Ignore that and it is a neat place to spend some time.  The wildlife are moving in and that speaks well for the place!  One negative is the abundance of water weed that grows during the summer.  Early fall finds too much weed for boating, but winter, spring are all fine.
