Outline

Water clarity
9 ft Secchi depthModerateOlder reading
Last measured Aug 27, 1992. 18 readings on record, 1991 to 1992.
Nothing has been measured in the last 5 years, so this may not match the lake today.
Measured at the monitoring station named “Tilden Millpond - Deepest Point”.
Secchi depth is how far down a white disk stays visible. A bigger number means clearer water. Clear means a Secchi depth of 10 feet or more, moderate 5 to 10 feet, low under 5 feet.
