Private quarry NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC in Mitchell, IN. Maximum depth of 55 feet, shore entry, platforms, lines, statues, and sunken boats/objects for training participants to enjoy. This quarry used to be a public beach in the 1960s, and steadily became more exclusive as ownership changed hands.

Access the site via an access road at the intersection of Edgehill Drive and Edgehill Parkway. The city allows divers to open the gate and drive down to the boathouse just to unload/load gear, but you cannot leave your car down there during the dive. Find street parking along Edgehill Drive.

Search for Cottage Grove Rd in Baraboo to get to this site. There’s a small parking area to the left just before the road goes uphill. Lake entry is to the right. Back swim north to just past the fourth cabin where the water is about 13’. Continue the dive heading north, staying close to the rocks.

Go past the visitors center, and take an immediate right just past the railroad tracks. Stage at the far end of the last parking lot. Entry is over the railroad tracks and down the rock wall. Backswim south to about the 3rd telephone pole and descend into ~13’/4m of water.
