This pool is unique because the layers of water do not intermix, and the undisturbed lower levels of the lake have led to important discoveries about the area's history.

The lake is just a five- to 10-minute walk from the parking lot along the Crawford Lake trail, and you can follow the boardwalk path around the water for some scenic views.
