About this swimming hole
Banner Creek Reservoir, just west of Holton, has a sand swimming beach next to its designated swimming area on this 535-acre county lake. The park offers boating, fishing, primitive camping, and a 13.8-mile hike-and-bike trail around the water. It is a quiet northeast Kansas alternative to the bigger state-park beaches.
