That marsh and the scene looks amazing, especially figuring this is on a county highway, and right below the tailing pile is a railroad and the ruins of the former mining operation.

Nice Campsite Along Vanderwhacker Brook

There also was a nice looking fire place, probably used by hunters camping here in the fall, and an outhouse. No picnic table though.
