We have two links to govenment pages that show the secchi disk reading for our lake and other lakes. You can compare the results to lakes you know and also see some history. Not a full record of all the readings we have done over many years and only from 1996 up to 2004 at the moment, but it does give some interesting comparisons. he second link is to our phosphorus readings and the same for other lakes too.
