What the comparison covers

Secchi clarity is shown and is not scored. This page compares Briery Creek Lake Sta only with neighbouring lakes in Virginiathat carry a letter of their own, within 30 miles.

Where a driving distance is not published for a lake, the table says so instead of estimating one.
