I remember there being two wooden diving docks. One in each deep end corner. You can still see some of the red pipes which held the wooden docks up... to the right. When taking these pictures the memories of this unique feature came flooding back. I was thrilled!!!

The size of this abandoned pool is immense! I remember swimming in this cold spring-fed pool as a little boy and later as a teen.

The unique design of this pool was the 45 degree angle sloping sides to the cold spring-fed water...the red grab rails helped many people in and out of the water.
