    Swimming at Big Ridge

    A sandy beach next to Big Ridge Lake provides swimming enjoyment from Memorial Day through Labor Day, 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM daily. There are no lifeguards on duty; therefore, swimming is at your own risk. Wearing personal flotation devices and life jackets is strongly encouraged for all swimmers and visitors enjoying the lake.
