Our 10 Favorite Spots for a Summer Splash
These swimming destinations hidden in the heart of the Midwest will cool off even the hottest summer days.
Quarry Park and Nature Preserve, Waite Park, Minnesota
Even though it's sanctioned as a county park, this St. Cloud-area preserve delivers thrills equal to the best secret swimming holes. Daredevils climb onto designated spots on rock walls and plunge into a cold, spring-fed pool that's as deep as 112 feet. Swimmers bob across the surface on rafts and inner tubes and do laps between points where the walls aren't as steep. A floating dock (left) makes getting out of the water easy and provides a platform for less-challenging cannonballs.
