About this swimming hole
Harrington Beach State Park pairs a mile of Lake Michigan sand with a spring-fed former limestone quarry lake on the same property. Swimmers choose between big-lake waves and the quarry's calm, clear water. The quarry-era building ruins and white cedar forest add history and shade to the beach day.
