About This Trail
The path of the "Old Diggings" or the "Quartz Hill Railroad" is paraphrased. The abandoned narrow gauge railroad was a vital part of the area's copper supply. The steam engine once ran through the bedrock. Look for signs of historic residences that housed local workers. Don't let your explorations limit your enjoyment of Keswick Reservoir.
