On hot summer days, boaters congregate there because there are no weeds to swim through, it is shallow enough to stand, and it is a good place to snorkel and dive for clams. Farther north on Creek Road is Green Dump and the Bomoseen State Park. We call it Green Dump because this was where the quarries used to dump their slate into the water, and the black, green and purple slate with all of its chlorite dust made the water turn green. It is now an access where the public can put their boats into the water. Development stops north of the State Park, mainly because there is no road from the park along the shore north to Floatbridge Road.
People come to the park to camp and to spend a day at the beach.
There is a private road that goes a little further around the lake to the Cedar Mountain Quarry then ends. Besides the north end, this is the only other undeveloped shoreline of the lake. It offers all of us on the other shore a glimpse of the lake's natural beauty. The trees are mostly pine, hemlock and cedar, but there are some maple, birches, and other hardwoods as well. This view offers a picture perfect foreground for the sun to set behind.
