Indian Lake, also known as North Pond, is a lake located in northern Worcester, Massachusetts. The most recent water quality report from 2023 indicated that "Water Clarity at Indian Lake. Between 6Jun and 5-Jul, Secchi depth readings were high compared to past results at Indian Lake ranging between 6.75 ft and 10.75 ft, indicating clearer water (see Figure 4). From mid-July through September, readings ranged between 4.5 ft and 5.25 ft, closer to past observations for summertime in Indian Lake. Secchi depth was in the range considered “Poor” on two occasions late in the season 19-Sep (3.75 ft), and 17-Oct (2.75 ft). This late season drop in clarity is expected based on past program monitoring results. Figure 4 - Secchi depth was considered "fair" for most of the season with some values in the "good" and "fair" categories. Depths ranged from 2.75-10.75 feet. At both in-lake sites, surface TSS results ranged between 1.5 mg/L and 8.9 mg/L, remaining in the range considered “Excellent” during all sampling events. These results were comparable to those in years past. All but one bottom TSS result from the Northern Site fell below 10 mg/L. As expected, TSS increased as Secchi depth decreased at Indian Lake. L&P rates water clarity at Indian Lake as “Fair” in 2023." [1]
