Redgranite Quarry — Attraction in Redgranite

I have some mixed emotions about this place. I grew up in Red granite and over the years . obviously you're gonna hear some horror stories. But, this place gives me the creeps! Haunted for sure! But it has a beautiful view. Always looks so refreshing in the summer. I personally have not had any bad experiences here but a few of my friends have. One of my childhood friends said she felt that someone was grabbing her leg while she was under water, after she jumped off the dock. She said she never swam there again! For a while there, there was teenagers and young adults who use to misuse the quarry and drink and dive. Lots of people have died doing this because they underestimate the depths of the quarry. The quarry is 163 feet deep and has icy water, submerged rocks, and depths that are unusual for Wisconsin swimming holes. The quarry's deep water and cliffs can make it difficult to get out of some areas, and the cold water can shock swimmers. The quarry also doesn't have lifeguards, and swimming is at your own risk. They're now adding cameras to the place which I think is good for everyone's sake! Since 1973, there have been 19 deaths. BE SAFE!!!!! But I swear this place is bad...

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...

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...
