    See source

  2. 1984-2021

    No open water seen in any year

    The lake is small for this record, so treat it as rough

    See sourceSee source

  3. 2017-2025

    Mostly plants or weed in most years

    The lake is known only as a point or is under a quarter acre, so the shares are rough

    About three in four of these readings are right, so trust what holds for several years
