These 2 ponds are 6-8 degrees colder in summer than any lakes in the area. Small springs in shallow water at end of coves adds some cool water but only offset evaporation. We think but are not sure that in building the ponds 30-50 years ago some deep springs were cut and now add cold water at depths below 15 feet. If you dive off the floating platform and go to 12-15 ft deep you get a shock -- hitting 60 degree water when the air temp is 95 will give you a headache. ewest \:\)
