Hazards
Risk of encountering bears or other animals
The edges of the open pit have steep faces and loose rock that could result in serious falls.
The turn off to the open pit leads directly into the water which was formerly the ramp, and is not blocked.
History
The Hedman mine opened in 1961 and continued operations mining asbestos until the 90s.
About this location
