Most people agree that swimming in a pool on a hot day is fun and relaxing, but you may have some people argue that they don’t feel the same way about splashing around in a lake. You’ve likely heard friends – or maybe you, yourself – say that they don’t like to swim in water where they can’t see their feet, which is the case in many lakes and rivers. However, in the beautiful state of Kentucky, there are a few bodies of water where you may be surprised by the crystal clear appearance. Located along the Kentucky/Tennessee border, Dale Hollow Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in Kentucky and even if you don’t like lake swimming, you’ll want to give this special place a chance.
