Most People Don't Know This Swimming Hole In Wyoming Even Exists
There’s no better way to spend a warm Wyoming summer day than by enjoying a refreshing swim, particularly after a brisk hike. Swimming in a pool is fine, but taking a dip in a nice, natural swimming hole feels especially amazing. String Lake happens to be relatively shallow, making it a pleasant place to swim.

Due to its shallow nature, it's a much more pleasant swim than the glacial lakes around it.

The lake is just large enough and the trail is just long enough to deter some visitors. In fact, many people wouldn't even think of swimming here.
