Does Pompton Lakes Get Muddy after Heavy Rain?

The Pompton River feeds the lake. Most of the runoff goes into Potash Lake and that can get pretty murky. Once you go further south onto Pompton Lake the affects of the runoff are reduced and the further south you go on Pompton Lake the clearer the water will be. Most of the sediment winds up in Potash and the northernmost end of Popmton Lake.

The Ramapo River feeds Potash then the Pompton Lake, It becomes the Pompton River at the bottom of the Pompton Lake Dam at Hamburg Tnpk.

Correct, I meant write Ramapo, I just had Pomton on the brain.
