Sept 3 Vade Mecum has a new trail


It is just a short spur trail and doesn't even have a name. When you visit the old mineral spring house at Vade Mecum, the trail is within sight. It goes just a short distance to the dam which created Diamond Lake in years past. Sitting next to the dam is the waterwheel which generated power for the resort.



Another dam in Hanging Rock State Park, is located nearby on the Moore Springs property. It is visible from the road if you know when to look. There is currently a picnic table located nearby which gets a fair amount of use. The dam itself is not is good shape and looks as though it has been crumbling for some time.
