LAKE CLARITY RESULTS
For numerous years, Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes have participated in the Indiana Clean Lakes Program. (http://www.indianalakes.org) Volunteers from 82 lakes in Indiana periodically take water samples and measure the clarity of their lakes and submit the results to the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. Quinn Heatherington samples Cordry Lake and Dave Jarrett samples Sweetwater Lake. In past years Cordry and Sweetwater always came in #1 and #2 for lake clarity.
