Hidden Lake

|
|
We're
only a short distance from the North end of Lake George. The dam is
about 300 yards just south of here. Hidden Lake is not connected to
Lake George. It was created by the excavation of clay used in the making
of bricks. The brick factory that use
to excavate the clay was in business for a long time. The whole area
is still covered with broken bricks of different shapes and sizes. We
thought Hidden Lake was deep until Jim wrote us with a wonderful account
of his scuba diving experience. The lake is 40 feet deep in some places
but, 20 feet is the average. There are old work shanties and railroad
tracks from the brick factory still on the bottom. Click
here for a wonderful account of diving in the Clay Pit (Hidden Lake).
The water has become cloudier over the years but it is still a lot cleaner
than Lake George. There are plenty of bass and blue gill in here and
it can be accessed along the railroad tracks for anyone who wants to
try to catch some. |
