Created after years of digging for rock, gravel and sand, North Point Quarry was ultimately filled with water from natural underground springs, rain, snow melt, and the nearby north branch of the Licking River.

North Point Quarry and the others located in the park have been stocked through the years with a variety of fish, and also includes many other creatures that have made the park their home, including a pair of Bald Eagles.

Here at North Point Quarry, we have over 410 paddlefish stocked for your viewing pleasure as you dive, and will soon increase that number to over 500 paddlefish. These unique fish are often seen by divers as they explore the 22 acre quarry. In addition to the paddlefish, we have recently stocked the quarry with over 150 albino catfish as an added attraction for divers.
