Lakes and Creek: Through the mining operation multiple quarry lakes were created on the property that collectively account for a total of approximately 20+/- acres of surface water. The water color and clarity are ideal, and the fisheries appear to be in good shape with plenty of bass, catfish, baitfish, and crawfish. With some management it is believed that these lakes have the potential to produce some great fishing, while also offering some exceptional seasonal waterfowl hunting opportunities.
