Home Up New Box Van Camping Access A Details

 

Access A is the premier location for easy access to the lake.  This area is divided into 'lower' and 'upper' A.   Two covered pavilions at lower A provide exposure relief during the hot summer months.  Numerous picnic tables and gear platforms allow for comfortable placement of divers, students and equipment.  A new covered, enclosed, building is being erected at lower A for improved comfort during the early and late diving season.  Entry to the 'lagoon' is a simple walk down the 'beach' with no surf to wade through.

 

Upper A features open exposure and a large area with picnic tables and gear platforms.  Two entries to the water are provided: 1) a short, steep path drops you down to the water's edge within a very short surface swim to the training platforms, Pennsy truck and sunken boats;  2) a longer, gradual grade road eases to the water's edge on the 'road' of the  original quarry.  Easy access to the 'lagoon' or the 'hole' is possible depending on your dive plan.
