billsoccer - 3 days 18 hours ago. Rating Added: 4 Typical quarry, but still my favorite cold-water site. You can go deep or shallow (brim beds in 5-15’; feed the fish and get swarmed on a platform!). Lot’s of room for students and others - there are swim-throughs, a school bus, autos of all shapes/sizes, boats which are well-away from the student areas.
