Loved the Quarry. We spent every summer day there when growing up. We used to jump off the cliff after hours and swin the long way to the 2 rafts they used have out in the deep section. We also used to fish there, bullheads and sunfish if I remember correctly. Also we got chased out of there by susex's finest when we would swin there when it wasnt open. Yes, also all took swimming lessons there. more ›
