Thread: Post your fav swimming spot!

    Exclamation Post your fav swimming spot!

    I've been trying to think of some places where we could all meet up and I was curious what places do you guys tend to go to when the lake gets warmer.

    I always swim in Duck Lake and Lake Michigan. DNR website The Glen Lakes, up in Glen Arbor near Sleeping Bear, are also very beautiful. Glen Arbor Chamber of Commerce website

    I'm in Indiana, so I'm partial to Salamonie or Mississinewa reservoirs, myself. They're close and I spent a lot of time on Salamonie, while growing up.

    I went to a pretty beach in Lake Bluff, but it was expensive, so going there often was not an option. Another time, I went to the little beach just near Navy Pier with family and friends. It was pretty clean and well kept-up, and we just had to pay for parking (which is a lot in the city, but when divided up wasn't too terrible). I was also looking up some of the beaches along the lake front and saw that one of the Chicago beaches has a mermaid statue in its park. I thought that was pretty cute!

    What ever the case may be, we should definitely find time to meet up this summer! Hopefully the weather starts warming up again. I haven't stuck my head outside today to check it out, but I'm glad the sun is shining!

    I would love to know where the mermaid statue is! I didn't know we had one in Chicago! We should definitely do a meet up especially when the tall ships come in to Navy Pier. I've heard some whispers about pirates this year in August.

    I'm going to be on a ship for Tall Ships when they sail into Bay city Mi There is also the Coast Guard Fest/ Pirate Fest in Grand haven, MI in august that I will be working in the Mermaid Lagoon

    Yay! The tall ships are so fun! I got to help raise a sail and my sister got to shoot a cannon. Mer_Adella, that is so awesome! I don't think they'd have much room for a lagoon in Chicago, since the ships dock right off of Navy Pier. : /

    We could over by Buckingham Fountain. That dock has tons of room!

    Ohio St. Beach is a good place in Chicago. The water is very clean considering there's a filtration plant next to it. Also, the mermaid statue is apparently off of the lake at 41st St. I thought it was further up north, but It looks like the park district moved it a few years back. It's probably become a Sox fan at this point.

    It'd be great if you could let me know when you're doing things--right now it looks like I actually might be busy during the day of Saturday and possibly sunday ( ) because my mom signed me up to play in a hockey tournament, but I don't know when the games are exactly yet so it's still possible I could make either of those days as well as friday.
