    Box Lake Dock by Rick and Janice Hogg

    The water is brown, which was surprise to me, it looks like silt. The water is clear about 10" in (not in depth) on the shore, then after that you can see silt on the rocks for a short bit then can only see silt, off the end of the dock you cannot see the bottom and you normally can when I have been there. There were ducks on the lake further out and small gray bird on shore. There is some ice film on the lake further out. There was a small amount of algae on the wood at end of the dock that is under the water a bit.

    2 wet dogs, thinking they were swimming. 4 people sitting on the dock, one child who was wet, thinking they were swimming. Water was clear though. Across lake I can see green and yellow foliage. A person who had been kayaking came in and then swam. There was a shore bird. Park host said that the fish had started to bit again after a month and a half. I told him the temperature of the lake was cooler this time.
