🏖 Clear Water & Tropical Vibes Await At This Swimming Hole

Happy Friday! Chelsea here.

Welcome to the weekend, friends. Okay, we'll I guess we technically have to get through today, but I actually have something to help with that. If you're looking for a little pre-lunch distraction, I'd like to suggest planning your trip to one of Ohio's best swimming holes. This former quarry has insanely clear water, a white sandy beach, and even an area to learn how to scuba dive. Honestly, I'll be daydreaming about this place until it officially opens for the season next weekend, which is just enough time to plan a little road trip. Have a great Friday, friends!
