Comments and Feedback
Lake Wazee is an old taconite quarry that had filled in with water when the mining operation closed in 1983. It is now part of a county park. The parks patrons consist mostly of divers, beach/picnic goers, campers, hikers, bikers, kayakers, & fisherman. All dive sites are accessible from shore and there are multiple dive site locations at this Lake. The dive sites are: The Wall, Bluegill Alley, The Gardens, Prince Bay Landing, Sherwood Forest, and North Point.
