Yes, freshwater indeed. It is a rather "remote" place but is in a state forest so some folks walk past it rather frequently. Fortunately a family was out strolling so I was able to hail them and they had service on their phone out there. We Googled "freshwater jellyfish" because I had never seen them before either and my imagination caused a bit of anxiety that they would suddenly mob me en masse and sting my eyes out. They do sting (as do all jellyfish I learned) but they are too small to affect human skin (so far that is the case.) https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=1068
I went back out and sucked a few of them into a water bottle in exchange for the information services of the family so they could show everyone else when they got back home. I want to go back at night and see if they do any kind of bioluminescence thing or not but this place is just remote enough that I know being in the water alone at night there would give me a certifiable case of the giddies.
