What is the story here Ron? Was there some radiocarbon work done on the trees? Flodded from a lava flow? or some other reason? That is some very clear water!
Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris, The lake was created when a lava flow plugged up a canyon. Cold water inundated the forest in the canyon and there are still trees from the forest standing on the lake bottom. The water stays at a constant 32 degrees farenheit year around which accounts for the remarkable degree of preservation. I don't know how the age of the trees was dated. Much of the water that flows into the lake comes from underground springs and water that has been filtered through surrounding lava beds
