I need some help relocating a possible fishing spot that I was at, about 15 years ago.
If I recall, it was state land and in the S.R. 541 and S.R. 60 area of Tunnel Hill...or east of that area. There was a VERY old gravel shute (wooden) building with some of the shute still in place, that can be seen from the gravel road. You had to park out on the gravel road (signs posted, no vehicles beyond this point) and as you faced the gravel shoot building, there was a small pond on the right with a beaver dam. If you walked up the access road it serpentined back and forth up the hillside and at the top the road went straight into a quarry...that's full of water.
At the time when I was there, there was an old dump truck parked under the shute...about a 1950s model. There was a concrete building on the upper access road that had old wooden Remington boxes for blast caps, still in the building...empty, ofcourse, but in mint condition. The area was facinating to say the least.
This quarry has sheer rock sides and the only access point is the gravel road that disappears into the water. I was in the area checking out some turkey hunting and stumbled across it. I always thought it would be a great place to fish with a kayak, since there were no other access points.
I've searched Google Maps without any success.
Does anyone have any idea of where this gravel pit/quarry is located?
Thank you, Bowhunter57
