It's really this deep!

Bluffton's National Quarry on Jefferson Street is a huge fish tank

Can you imagine draining the National Quarry? The result would surprise you as its depth is a challenge to fathom.

While the quarry may never be drained in our lifetime, here’s a look at it while was an active stone quarry. The quarry closed in 1929 and slowly filled over the next 10 years as pumping was halted.


We’ve placed a photo from its active years over an image of the quarry today, presenting an idea of what’s under the water line.
