Millington Quarry
Stopped and took a look at Millington Quarry today, the site of a proposed 50 acre lake. Chances are it will all be private property but the place is huge and has tremendous potential.

Re: Millington Quarry
I've fished a quarry that was filled and it was unlike anything I've fished. Steepest dropoffs you'll ever fish.

Re: Millington Quarry
yeah, i have fished Mine Hill Beach Lake which is an old quarry, and each drop off is 20' straight down from the last. i wonder how good that actually is for fish habitat?

We'll see what becomes of this. There have been allegations of corruption and a fear by the town council that if the quarry lets in fill from outside to build the delopment, it will inevitably become a scam to dispose of toxic waste. (Welcome to New Jersey). Areas of the quarry already have contamination that needs to be dealt with. In the end, Basking Ridge is high-end real estate and 180 is worth a lot of money, so something will become of it.

Re: Millington Quarry
I have fished Mine Hill Beach many times. All the surrounding lakes and it are flooded sand quarries. The lake gets to a 40 ft depth. There are fish there but they can be hard to find. When you do it can be good but it isn’t easy.
