Welcome To North Point Dive Quarry
(located at T.J. Evans Park) (click here for directions to North Point)
1500 Mt. Vernon Road, Newark, Ohio 43055
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 stocked over 500 paddlefish for your viewing pleasure as you dive, and many of them have already grown to over 3-4′ in length. These unique fish are often seen by divers as they explore the 22 acre quarry. In addition to the paddlefish, we have stocked the quarry with over 150 albino catfish as an added attraction for divers.
NORTH POINT DIVE QUARRY IS NOW OPEN FOR THE SEASON.
DIVE SEASON RUNS APRIL 18th – NOVEMBER 15TH
