Historic Artillery Range

Historically the area and the property on which Shady Waters Camping is located was used by the military as an artillery target range and there have been a small number of old artillery projectiles found on the property. The majority of these are harmless, but there is the potential for Unexploded Ordnances (UXO). The entire property has been thoroughly checked, but in the unlikely event that you discover any such items, please do not touch or disturb them and report it immediately to the Campground Manager.
