So heres pics of the hyrdrolectric plant, a really short tunnel, some birds, and a bunch of really cool towers I found. Enjoy and comment!


As a note to the really dim prop shafts, I had to lower a flashlight into the hole and didn't really have time at that point to cover the area as well as I wanted. I'll be returning to this location when I go out next monday. I made the mistake of thinking the power plant wasn't accesible by anybody else so I jogged/walked/hiked upwards of maybe 4 or so miles to get to it, in addition to crossing the river..so yeah it got kinda late by that time of the day after Id explored everything else.

Great pictures! That looks like the Belle Island power plant for sure. Weve been going there for years. Pretty empty but there's a ton of graffiti in there! FYI dont stay there too late. They used to lock the gates after dark and I know the cops used to frequent the island because of all the drug deals that happen down there. Plus being down there after dark is just a kinda bad idea lol. If you walk farther onto the island there's an old quarry with a huge rock overhang that you can walk on that's kind of cool. And there's a few other old old buildings out there but they are all small and empty. Might be good for pictures but not much of an explore.

I kinda got that feeling..and crossing the river at night was rather interesting seeing as how I ran into these really strange kids. I think they were drunk or something..they were nice though. But I definitely booked it outta there once it got dark. Thanks for the tip on the quarry Ill check it out.

Yep last time I was there at night I saw a group of 4 pretty gangster looking guys and the one leading the pack had a chrome desert eagle shoved in his pants pointing at his family jewels and made sure it was highly visible.

If you walk further up theres a fairly nice wooden plank bridge so you dont have to go rock hopping. only time I ever rock hopped back at night time was with a friend during a really bad storm. HORRIBLE idea.
