One of the best features about Nelson Ledges Quarry Park is the quarry itself!

Swimming is available and it is some of the best in Ohio. Life guards are on-site on the beach and in the water. Anyone in the water after or before hours will be immediately expelled. Safety is our #1 priority.

The Quarry has a large and natural beach area with a shallow, roped in shelf for the children's swimming area. The rest of the quarry is up to 30 ft. deep in most places. We employ Red Cross certified lifeguards, and have multiple guards on duty daily.

The water is open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.

Because the water is spring fed, and if scuba diving is your fancy, check out the scuba page on the Nelson Ledges web site. Water clarity and visibility are excellent. Even for the average swimmer, a mask and snorkel can provide hours of fresh water exploration.
