"Long Meadow" Rock Haul Road ...
All that remains visible of the "Long Meadows" Rock Haul Road is a slight rise in the landscape, approximately 12 feet wide, which drops off again on the other side. The original road ran southwest from the quarry to Lake River. Today a clump of trees splits the road remnants in to two small sections.
