North Point Quarry - Newark OH


Loading...
Created after years of digging for rock, gravel and sand, North Point Quarry was ultimately filled with water from natural underground springs, rain, snow melt, and the nearby north branch of the Licking River. North Point Quarry and the others located in the park have been stocked through the years with a variety of fish, and also includes many other creatures that have made the park their home, including a pair of Bald Eagles.

Here at North Point Quarry, we have over 410 paddlefish stocked for your viewing pleasure as you dive. These unique fish are often seen by divers as they explore the 22 acre quarry.

Each diver / snorkeler is required to fill out and sign a liability release form envelope completely and pay the $10.00 fee before entering the water. A drop box is conveniently located next to the changing rooms to insert the envelope with payment. Cash or personal checks will be accepted for payment. Please make checks out to: Newark Parks & Recreation Department. Snorkeling is permitted at North Point Quarry for those 10 years of age and older. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult diver at all times. Each snorkeler is required to wear an approved buoyancy device at all times. No “free style” diving is permitted.

Please note that there are no air-fill, equipment rental or sales available on site.

Thank you, Chuck Jackson (Captain Chuck) – North Point Dive Quarry Manager
