About this swimming hole
Mineral Springs Lake is a 100-acre lake fed entirely by mineral-rich natural springs in Adams County, once named Ohio's best swimming hole by a statewide roundup. Five and a half miles of peaceful shoreline wrap the spring-fed water. It is a hidden-gem lake swim in Ohio's Appalachian foothills.
