Fossil Hunting in Pennsylvania Site #2

                                                      Site #2  Indian Mountain Golf Course
A little know site, (I think I may be the one who found fossils there first), not too far from Beltzville Lake is the Indian Mountain Golf Course located north on Pohopoco Drive to end then left (west) on Rt 534. There are very productive outcrops along the steep cartpath between the 4th green and 5th tee.  This isn't anywhere near a fairway or green and digging isn't necessary because the productive outcrop is exposed but I always ask for permission anyway.  If there are alot of golfers, I would stop at top or bottom so others can get by as there is only room for one cart.  There are also many fossil-laden rocks between holes 7 and 8- closer to the teebox for #8.  This is a great place to satisfy a love for golf and fossil hunting at the same time.

NOTE: The groundskeeper is known to be rude and obnoxious so I would suggest getting permission from whoever is working the register in the clubhouse.
