Unreal swimming area, probably the best in Wisconsin. Many drive up over three hours from Madison to swim and dive here. The walk around the lake quarry is very beautiful and great for photo shoots and fishing. This is cold spring fed which means it's super clean but unfortunately the deep water is very cold so you must be careful not to dive too deep for fear of muscle cramps. Also you should not try to jump over rocks to make it to there water as you would not want to injure yourself or encourage others to do so. There are plenty of safe places to jump from but there have been about two dozen deaths over the years. There have always been hundreds of people here every time I've gone but no lifeguards. Red Granite really should do a fundraiser for hiring lifeguards throughout the summer, I'm sure they would easily raise enough money and it would be far safer and the jump spots far more regulated.

Always a fun time. You can look up dive videos on YouTube to get a glimpse of what you're swimming above. I've been going here awhile way before they revamped it. I believe more people need to go here to swim & have a good, relaxing day. Don't drink & swim. Be safe & responsible. Yes. People have died. It's extremely unfortunate & sad, my condolences. But the point is be safe, make responsible choices, wear a life jacket if you can't swim. Bring a floatie! Pack a snack, bring plenty of water & sunscreen and enjoy FREE entertainment. Thank the host city by enjoy what it has to offer. On Wisconsin. Don't litter and don't bring glass!

There is no lifeguard. Swim at your own risk. The thrill is jumping from the rock formations into the water. If you act wisely and choose the safe jumps, you will enjoy yourself. However, over the years, many people have died here. They closed this quarry for many years as a result. I didn't swim, took my grandson with his parents' permission. There is no beach, no public restroom, no dog park, no picnic area, no playground, this is an old quarry.

This is a very neat location. Unfortunately the last time I went to visit here... It was closed off. I guess some people took advantage of it, destroyed stuff around it, and Redgranite closed it off to the public. This is an amazing spot for swimming and fishing. Truly ashamed that people spray painted and destroyed this location.

The quarry is closed due to out of control partiers and demonstrations over the last few months troubles. Someone is attempting to make improvements to the land and have cut down too many poplar trees for the stated purpose. Still as gorgeous as ever except for a large increase in graffiti. At least most of it is not profane.
