What To See

Fuller Lake was the major ore quarry from which iron ore was mined for Pine Grove Furnace. The quarry filled with groundwater when mining ceased. Laurel Lake once supplied water power to Laurel Forge. Laurel Forge reheated and hammered the cast iron ingots from Pine Grove Furnace to produce wrought iron, a product that could be bent in many shapes.

The chief species of fish in Fuller lake are pickerel, perch and stocked trout.

The maximum depth of the lake is 70 feet.
