A named private swimming park

The surviving archive identifies Blue Hole Park east of Salina. Current official tourism supports swimming at this operated seasonal destination and distinguishes it from arbitrary Spring Creek or lakefront access.

Plan the seasonal day and payment

TravelOK displays Memorial Day-to-Labor Day hours and cash-only per-car swimming admission. Call before planning an off-season or future visit. Its camping rates are separate from a swimming day, and a campsite booking is not a universal shoreline permit.

Pets, supplies and supervision

Tourism permits leashed dogs on site but excludes them from the main swimming area and prohibits alcohol. It lists concessions and tent/RV camping. These facilities do not prove lifeguard coverage or safe shallows for every child; confirm the actual operator's rules and supervise closely.

Current planning sources

Getting There

Use the named Blue Hole Park entrance east of Salina and current operator instructions. Confirm the exact approach before relying on the old Kenwood Road itinerary.

Plan Your Visit

Parking & Access

Confirm the entrance, parking arrangements, and legal access with the land manager. A map pin does not establish a public right of access. Follow posted routes and never block gates or driveways.

Regulations & Fees

TravelOK displays Memorial Day-to-Labor Day hours and cash-only per-car swimming admission. Call before planning an off-season or future visit. Its camping rates are separate from a swimming day, and a campsite booking is not a universal shoreline permit. Public park access does not necessarily include permission to swim. Respect private property and posted restrictions.

Seasonality & Flow

Water conditions can change quickly. This listing does not provide a current safety or water-quality assessment. Check official alerts and avoid entering water when conditions or permission are uncertain.

What to Bring

Bring sturdy water shoes to protect your feet on rocks and slippery surfaces. A waterproof dry bag keeps your phone, keys, and valuables safe. Pack a quick-dry towel, sun protection, and drinking water - never drink from the natural water source.

Nearby Facilities

Nearby places from saved public map data, not necessarily facilities at the swimming spot. Confirm access, hours, fees, and amenities with the operator before you drive.
