The clear green water of Eustache Lake in Algonquin Park

Clear Water. Green Water.   While Eustache Lake is purported to be the deepest lake in Algonquin Park at 90 m, this view shows a somewhat shallower part. But it does show the clear greenish water that is characteristic of an Algonquin headwater lake. The clarity is due to it being groundwater fed; the greenish cast is due to the groundwater's mineral content.
