Where is a nice place to swim
We just moved up and my daughter and her husband want to take a friend swimming and have no clue where they can do that here on a slim budget. I know there must be some public lakes or somewhere they can go nearby (within an hour). They want to go on Monday. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Denise

Swimming is available at most of the lakes in the area and many of them are about an hour away.

Paris Mtn State Park. I don't know the fee- we buy the $50 yearly park pass for any State Park. It's a deal.Paris Mtn has a swimming area with lifegaurd, hiking, live music on Sat and pedalboats- at least they used to.Have fun!

Congrats on your move. S FL native here. My, my, my how things changed down here over the yrs... are you working or did you find a job before you moved? Just curious. I went to college up there...
Sorry to be OT.
There are some very nice lakes (one big one) I cant remember the name of it, it's kind of on the GA/NC border... Jocassee maybe? |

The daily park entrance fee is $2 per person, I don't know if there's a lower amount for children. |
