    Default Old submerged road at Burnt Mills?


    I noticed this area some time ago but finally got a good side imaging pic of it. I believe it's an old road.





    I've not marked any fish on it. Thoughts?

    nice picture and looks like a road being narrow and coming up higher than surrounding area, Did you try to follow it to a creek and see if some fish were there?

    Roadbed or old dam for a pond

    Looks like an old dam. If the left side of your color shot is upstream it makes sense as that side is shallower from sediments and the slope on the other side is steeper. Also maybe those are stumps or debris on the upstream side. Like Getthenet said there were several pond and a mill there before Norfolk built their dam.
