Discover the FRP LaGrange Quarry, also known locally as “The Quarry”, a unique adult-only oasis located in the heart of Oldham County, Kentucky.
This privately-owned, crystal-clear, spring-fed quarry offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, where adults can unwind, rejuvenate, and indulge in a plethora of water activities in a tranquil environment.
Experience Unmatched Tranquility and Fun
FRP LaGrange Quarry isn’t just another swimming hole; it’s a comprehensive retreat for those aged 18 and above.
Float on the water with your own or rented paddleboards, pedal boats, kayaks, or canoes. Tubes are also usually available at the gift shop and there’s an air compressor onsite.
But it’s recommended to bring your own favorite tube (giant unicorn anyone?!) to make the day that much better.
The quarry boasts a sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing or simply relaxing with a book.
For the more adventurous, snorkeling and swimming across to the quarry’s island offer a refreshing escape.
There are also a couple of diving platforms where you can splash into the cool, clear water.
