Thank you Kap for posting the photo, I couldn't figure out how to get it on the thread. You are all correct, to a certain extent.

1) There are civil liabilities involved, but no more than any pond. It is insured.

2) There are shallows. Those two round disks in the upper left are 1-3' deep as is the entire upper left for about 15', then it drops like a rock.

3) The water is cold, very cold, everywhere, but I measured it in September, not sure what it will be like in the heat of the summer?

4) There is almost no aquatic vegetation, which makes it awesome for swimming.

5) It is in the heart of the best brook trout fishing in the US. If I can't raise my own, I can walk down the road.

6) I am not sure of the DO levels at the bottom, but pulling up water from the 60+ feet had no odor and tasted fresh. The pond has no odor whatsoever and water I have taste tested, tastes like fresh spring water.
