White Star Quarry

White Star Quarry is a 15 acre man made lake with an average depth of 40’ with the center of the quarry approaching 50 Feet.  There are two “holes,” one near the wall close to the main diving entrance and the other at the bottom of a stone crusher that are 60’ and 80’ respectively.  The cost of diving is $10 per day per diver. You need to fill out a diving form (a yellow envelope) and drop it in a special payment slot with your money for each day that you dive.  You must have exact change and checks are no longer accepted.  There are two pavilions that have the forms and the information about registering posted near the diving sites.  There is a fill station/ dive store there if you need change.

For any non-divers that may be joining you, the White Star Swim Beach is open, weather permitting. Hours are 12 noon until 8:00pm.  Daily rates in 2003 were 2 years and under free, ages 3- 12 are $1.75, and ages 13 and up are $2.75 per day. The beach house includes changing rooms and a concession stand.  Bottles, cans and inflatable devices are prohibited in the beach area. Swim area depth is from 0’ – 15’.  The area is roped off with protection markers.
 

White Star Campground is across from the park’s main entrance and has 24 “primitive” site (no hookup for water or electric) at $10 per site per night.  You are allowed 2 vehicles and two tents per site with a maximum of 4 adults.  The fee is payable by an envelope system similar to the diving side.  The Campground is open April 1 – December 31 and each site includes a table and a fire ring.

At both the dive site and the campground, the facilities are very primitive.   There are no showers and sinks in the area (not even in the campground) and the gas stations in the nearby town do not have public facilities as well. 

This Local Diving area is  located near Gibsonburg, Ohio about 20 Minutes east of Toledo
