About this swimming hole

Just outside Turkey Run State Park, The Narrows squeezes Sugar Creek through a limestone gorge hiding a shaded swimming pocket. A faint pull-off east of the covered bridge leads down to pool-worthy water wrapped in quiet, mossy rock. Named Indiana's top wild swimming spot in a national survey, it is best at moderate water levels.
