When young I went north to Redgranite WI a few times to scuba dive. The water was clear even in mid summer, but cold if you went beneath the thermocline. It was a flooded granite quarry 100 feet deep. We would adjust our buoyancy, no air tanks,  then swim down 10 feet to a ledge, grab a rock and see how far we could go before we let go. I made it to 40 ft. We needed a cold water hood in July.

Devils Lake is also good for diving and many other things. Hiking is excellent. Camping.

Anyone driving down to Madison or Chicago should take a 1 hour detour and take the Merrimac  Ferry. Kids will never forget it.

Nope, thought maybe but wrong Devil's lake, and yeah when I was a little lad.

Always interested scuba...never tried it though.  Snorkel yes.
