Summer is swimming season. In addition to the numerous swimming holes in the area, there are also many lakes, & you know what that means…..Beaches! Many of the lake beaches have lifeguards on duty. There is nothing quite refreshing as swimming in a freshwater lake.
Here’s a few to try, in no particular order:

Please note, I have not tried any of the lake beaches personally. I would recommend calling the numbers of the websites to verify the information is up-to-date.
