Rando, there is no connection to the river itself...though they all connected up in the 2011 flood
No legal access to the ponds either.
Heard talk about a "lake estate" / parkland when the extraction stops, but I don't know how accurate that is.
The areas of the South pine where they seem to have dredged gravel in the past are deep but pretty dead in my opinion, but that is just my opinion, no evidence other than that we catch fish in other parts of the Pine but not there.
