Pine Swamp Mine
The Pine Swamp Mine is
in NY State. The mine features a large stope opening which can be entered. At
the far end of the stope, there is a shaft at the top, which illuminates the
mine. Towards the entrance there is a vertical shaft filled with water.
Not much is known of
the mine, which was owned by the Parrott brothers. Finding it involves a
strenuous hike over a mile into the hills of Harriman State Park.
