Really nice strip pit KingRace. Lot of surface area.

Zep that is a strip pit common to this area. It was where coal was strip mined and the water filled the dug area. Much of this mined land was "reclaimed" and made back into pasture and any of the more recent mining it was requirement that the land be leveled back out. But some remains to this day. What once was considered almost worthless land that could hardly be sold now brings premium price for recreation use.

There are quite a number of these "strip pits" around this area. Some owned and managed by fish and game, some private owned.
