Make your summer in North Carolina epic with a visit to a spring-fed swimming hole located in a former granite quarry. While a whole host of other swimming holes in North Carolina offer respite from the heat of the summer sun, the Quarry at Carrigan Farms is a delightfully huge oasis with rope swings, cliff jumps, and diving decks high above the water.

Located approximately 30 miles north of Charlotte, The Quarry at Carrigan Farms is a seasonal spot for families to gather and make memories to last for years to come.

The old quarry was originally mined for its exquisite granite until the digging exposed a natural spring that soon filled the quarry with water - and the rest is history. Additionally, the watering hole is also filled with fresh water that pours over a waterfall in certain seasons. It's a scene worthy of keepsake photos to remember the day.
