About this swimming hole
Esrey Park is the quintessential Keweenaw quick-dip stop: pull over, step off the roadside, and slip straight into Lake Superior. There is no beach infrastructure to speak of, just clear cold water and a rocky shore. It is perfect for a refreshing plunge on a Keweenaw driving day.
