It’s not too uncommon that Florida makes national headlines one way or another on a daily basis. Usually it’s something along the lines of a hurricane evacuation, alligator sighting, or crazy strong riptide. But this week, Florida made headlines for another reason: the nation’s very first man-made lagoon has opened and it could not be more spectacular. Check it out:

Crystal Lagoon at Epperson Ranch is a one-of-a-kind tropical paradise that you won’t believe even exists.

The huge tropical swimming hole is open to residents who want to swim, kayak, and sail throughout the 7.5-acre crystal clear lagoon.

As the top, and perhaps the coolest, amenity offers for residents within the area, this lagoon is even open to those who wish to Stand-Up Paddle board and use non-motorized crafts, too.

The lagoon will feature a waterslide, private cabana, water obstacles, a tidal pool, yoga lawn, restaurant and family beach.
