Message: [QUOTE="huskyrob1, post: 3609324, member: 1226"] Lake Mohegan started getting polluted ever since the Town bought the place. Alot of home building with septic systems, large fertilized lawns, and other poisons, went in above the western side watershed of the lake around the time the German's sold it to the town. Trust me I know, used to snorkel in the lake when the German family up above it, owned it. I grew up a short walk away. Back then the water was crystal clear, you could see all the way to the bottom on a sunny day (40 or 50 feet in most spots, but a couple of deeper holes) when snorkeling from the surface. When I was a kid I could see all the fish swimming around on the bottom. Place had tons of huge fresh water mussels back then which filtered the water further. Now the water is so dirty you're lucky if you can see the bottom where it's only 8 feet deep. Also, remember it's fresh water which won't kill any water borne organisms like salt water will. [/QUOTE]
