Most water is not clear. How far can you see in your local swimming pool?
Some lakes in New Zealand appear quite blue or green because of tiny suspended particles of rock flour derived from the glaciers.
The clearest water recorded is at Waikoropupu Springs in the South Island of New Zealand. This has been measured at standard conditions at 63 m. Lake George in Minnesota is reported as a very clear water, and its figure is a little over 4m.
There is in Wikipedia a List of Lakes in Minnesota which gives clarity figures. Worth a look.
