This pool is about an hour and five minutes away from Lexington. If you dislike the pools in Lexington, you may love this low key State Park pool, it’s well worth the drive out from Lexington. This pool overlooks the lake, it’s gorgeousness you see as soon as you pull into the parking lot. The only bad thing is that once you’re inside of the pool area, the brick wall obstructs your view of the lake… bummer. The pool goes up to 8 feet deep. The entry fee was $ 4 per person, but because we were camping, we got the $ 1 off per person discount. This pool is located just before the registration gate of the campground, so we just walked down one morning. I didn’t know that they didn’t open until 11am on the weekends. So we walked down along the grassy area of the water’s edge, there was even a picnic table. Yes, I was up way too early, but I just wanted to experience as much of the area that I could. They weren’t ready to open at 11, so we sat down on a lounge chair just by the entry gate. When they were«ready» a young girl came out and rudely informed me that we had to pay. Not«ok, the pool is ready now, you can now pay». Really?! I attempted to pay and you said you weren’t ready because the chemicals were still being tested, so I’m patiently waiting still with my coverup on. Why I couldn’t I have just paid one of the three of you at the window… Not attending to the pool or its chemicals, I haven’t a clue. Kids these days! Then after we paid, we had to wear an orange bracelet… annoying when you’re trying to catch some rays. Overall… the pool is NICE, so I won’t knock it too much for the kids.
