Site details

A flooded former limestone quarry near La Grange operated as an adults-only (18+) commercial swim and dive park, about 30 minutes from Louisville. The rain-fed water is unusually clean for a quarry, with visibility commonly 20 ft or better, and the basin drops to 55+ ft with limited shallow areas. Originally developed as a diver training facility, it remains a staple checkout-dive site for Louisville-area shops.
