When you think of Kentucky, you may not think of crystal clear water. However, in LaGrange you will find the most gorgeous, sapphire lake that will make you think you’ve reached the Gulf. At Falling Rock Park – The Quarry, you can enjoy this pristine water, while relaxing in the warm Kentucky sun.

In 1996, Joe Clark had a vision of creating a relaxing destination, where adults could enjoy beautiful scenery and crystal clear water. Falling Rock originally opened to divers only, but was soon opened to the public.

The sapphire water is the quarry's best feature. The water is kept impeccably clean and clear thanks to its source - rain water! That means the water is free of run-off dirt, pollution from motors and litter.
