About Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes is a small lake with diameter of only about 1km, but a maximum depth of up to 90 ft. Boats with motors are not allowed on this lake which makes it very diver-friendly. Entry is via a dock extending out to 10 ft of water with a staircase and submerged platform. The lake bottom is very silty and visibility can be compromised very easily if buoyancy is not controlled. A permanent thermocline exists at 54ft below which you will find no life, and no light. Various dive groups have sunk interesting objects over the years just to make lake diving a little more entertaining. Some features include boats, parking meters, diving bells, signs, and an ice fishing shack. In the winter this lake is a frequent spot for local ice-divers.
