The perfect summer oasis!
Lead Writer, Travel

Leap into summer at this swimming oasis! One of the best things about the warm weather is that you can put on your bathing suit and spend the day by the water. Ontario has no shortage of places to swim, but this spot is definitely worth visiting. With crystal waters and serene surroundings, you'll want to come back every weekend. Ontario's Innerkip Quarry is a hidden summer gem waiting to be discovered.

If you've been dreaming of some summer adventures, then pack up your favourite floaty and head out to this spot.

Located just an hour and a half from Toronto, Innerkip Quarry at Trout Lake features a wide expanse of shining turquoise waters to take a plunge in.

The spring-fed swimming hole has towering diving boards, cliff jumping, scuba diving, and a snack bar to indulge in some treats.

There's even a secret underground waterpark filled with sunken ships, school buses, and planes.

Since you'll be wanting to spend more than a day here, you can pitch a tent and camp out or rent a camping unit.

The quarry is currently open for camping, swimming, scuba diving, and fishing.

Social distancing regulations are in place, and only groups of 10 people or less are allowed.

The public washrooms and snack bar are available on site. The playground equipment, diving board, and ladders are closed for the time being.

Admission is $12 per adult and $20 per adult for a night of camping.

If you're looking for more swimming holes to spend the season by, you can road trip to some of these gorgeous spots across Ontario.

Elora Quarry is always a popular destination, with its towering limestone cliff walls and sandy beach.

Another dreamy swimming spot lets you float beneath a glimmering waterfall.
