Warm Crystal River Swimming Hole

Finn and Isky swimming at the livery

Probably the deepest part of the Crystal River is right in front of our livery.  Four feet or so and a sandy bottom makes this a great place for families to cool off and swim.  Everyone is welcome to come swim off our boardwalk at no charge.  Plenty of parking.  Clean bathroom/changing rooms, etc.  Come on down and take a dip.

We should not be that busy today.  Still helps to call us and make a reservation.  We don’t take a deposit, but nice to know your coming so we can have your kayaks or canoes loaded and ready to go.  No wind in the forecast so paddling on the lakes is an option.  Should be a great day for kayaking, canoeing, tubing, paddleboarding and of course mini/golf putt putt golf.  5959 S. Oak Street in downtown Glen Arbor nestled inside the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on the banks of the Crystal River.  Come on down!
