definately no regular outflow. The pond is fed by a spring that pops up in a few different places across the bottom - basically the water percolates up from the bottom through all the limestone.
I'll add a plant survey to the list of things to be done this summer. Generally there are actually a lot of weeds in the bottom of the pond. Very, very thick in some places. Every summer we end up mannually removing an entire canoe-full whenever they have company that might want to swimm off the pier (grandkids). I also know that directly across the pond from dad's pier is a heavy bed of weeds every year that goes unmanaged, and the southern end of the pond is much the same.
I'll take some pics and mark on the map next time i get up there. Lots of things going on for the next few weeks, probably won't be until mid-may early june before i can arrive.
Thanks SB
Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut. Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
