The color of it is wrong.
It's a deep glacial blue that goes almost to black where the bottom drops away, and the bottom drops away fast.
There is hardly any nitrogen in the water, so almost nothing grows in it, and that's part of why it stays so clear and so cold and so blue.
People say you can see down a hundred feet in places.
People also say the lake is 600 feet deep, and that nobody has ever properly mapped the deepest parts of it, and that when something goes under at Lake Crescent it doesn't come back up the way it would in a normal lake.

The cold keeps everything.
I read all of that later, after the weekend was over, sitting in my apartment with the lights on at three in the morning.
I wish I had read it before.
The cabin belonged to a man named Harold Voss.
We had rented it through one of those listing sites, and the photographs had been honest enough, an old timber frame place with a green metal roof and a covered porch that looked out over a narrow strip of rocky beach to the water.
It had been built in the 1930s, the listing said, by a logging family, and it had the look of it, low and heavy and settled into the ground like it had grown there.
There was a stone chimney on the east side and a wood stove inside."
and one of those old hand pumps out by the shed that nobody used anymore.
The nearest neighbor was half a mile off through the trees, and you couldn't see their lights.
That was what we wanted.
That was the whole point of the trip.
To be somewhere with no lights and no noise, and no one asking how I was holding up.
Voss met us in the gravel turnaround when we pulled in.
He was older than I had expected, maybe 70, with a face like a split fence post and a way of standing very still that I noticed even then.
