Grundy Lakes is a unique little park perfect for an afternoon picnic, a little fishing, hiking, biking, swimming and strolling around soaking up a little history.
Over 100 years ago, the area that is now Grundy Lakes State Park was home to the Lone Rock Coke Ovens. These 120 “beehive” ovens were built into the ground around 1883 which worked well for the community as Tracey City was a coal mining area. It was also an area in ruin where coal had been burned into “Coke” a fuel that didn’t contain a lot of impurities and burned so hot it melted iron; one reason it was manufactured.
Some of the coke ovens have been cleaned out and maintained for visitors to see the structures, while others are lined up in the woods for you to enjoy as you stroll about.
