This swimming hole in Ontario has crystal clear spring-fed water

There’s nothing better than a refreshing swim on a hot summer day, and Trout Lake Quarry is one of Ontario’s best spots for that.

Also known as Innerkip Quarry, Trout Lake is a spring-fed quarry in the village of Innerkip, Ontario.

The formerly abandoned quarry has been transformed into a popular summer destination that has been enjoyed in the community for over 50 years.

Filled with crystal-clear, spring-fed water, Trout Lake Quarry is a paradise for swimming, fishing, cliff-jumping, and even scuba diving.

The quarry boasts an “underground waterpark” that is a scuba diver’s dream, with sunken ships, school buses, and planes to explore.

Around the swimming hole is a playground for kids, washroom and shower facilities, as well as a snack bar to refuel while you lounge in the sun.

The best part is that Trout Lake Quarry has overnight camping available, so you can turn your visit into a weekend getaway.
