English (Translate this text in English): In the community of Walton, the Gypsum Quarry is visible up a short dirt road of only a hundred meters or so in length. It is a steep walled rock quarry on all sides but the entry road. Using Goggle Earth, the parking at the head of the quarry is exactly at 45°13'35.87"N 63°59'15.51"W.

 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): This is an interesting freshwater dive as the gypsum quarry changes the pH of the water and the quarry is spring fed, making visibility uncharacteristically good. It is usually 15 m and I've never seen less than 10m visibility.

There is a flowering green plant much like grass over most of the rolling terrain in the quarry, except for the steep walls, which are white gypsum with grey veins running through it.

This makes an interesting summer dive with some small fishes and frogs as well as many insects. It excels as a unique, clear water ice diving location - but only for trained ice diving personnel in appropriate teams with the right equipment.
