When you first come down the hill to Redridge - just before the dam - you can briefly glimpse a smokestack out over the tree line. This is what Jay's referring to and it belongs to the Baltic Mill.

Baltic was interesting, but I found the old cheese factory ruins even more interesting. Both of which I'll feature soon - probably when I finish up this church sidetrack... BTW, the stack you ask about is from the Baltic Mill. And you can't get to it very easily - perhaps even not at all. Jay …

In the some of the photos in this topic looking towards Cliff, that prominent knob would seem to be the fabled Albion Rock location!

There's another smokestack closer to Redridge. You can see it when you come down the big hill just before Redridge, on the Freda road. It's a bit more broken down than the Champion stack in Freda -- there are holes and lots of missing cement at the top. I'd be almost certain that the stack is from the Baltic mill, which near the lakeshore and was supplied by the dam. However as Mike recently mentioned, there were a number of other mills along the shore between Redridge and Freda, so maybe it was from one of them instead. Jay — sorry!

Ive been meaning to get back out there now that I know more, but haven't had any time, and snows are in the forecast I am not sure what this weekends plans are. And on a random note, whats the smoke stacks out towards Lake Superior near the Red Ridge Dam? Mike how Did You like Baltic?
