Living in Minnesota means ample access to lakes (and rivers), and we certainly enjoy that access with all the swimming, boating, and fishing we do in the warmer months. But unbeknownst to many residents, there is a place that combines the joy of swimming in one of our 10,000 plus lakes with gorgeous, untouched water. It’s the spring-fed swimming pond at Camden State Park.
In the northern part of the park (near the picnic area) you can find this beautiful spring-fed pool.

The water flows through the gorgeous pond and over the rocks into the Redwood River.

There’s also a wonderful beach with shallow access for kids!

So, as the weather warms up and you plan your summer trips, make sure you swing by Camden State Park and check out this local treasure! Is there another spring-fed swimming spot you love in Minnesota?
