    This place was a sewage storage lake for 80 years until the 1980s. It's currently in a hyper eutrophic state. Not too safe to swim or fish in. Hopefully residents near aren't suffering from sicknesses. I would say stay away.

    The effort put into Mitchell Lake over the the past ~10 years is evident. There is a plethora of wildlife to view during your trip. All contributors to this project have done a great job. Keep up the good work!
