Can I swim in Lake Jesup?

Lake Jesup is not the best lake to swim. It is one of the shallowest lakes in Florida. Its average depth is only six feet, though it would be deeper if not for a thick layer of sediment on the lake's bottom. Storm water runoffs drain into the lake, but there is little drainage out, resulting in heavy siltation.
