Member  27 |  Subject: Dane/Jeff Co OWSI'm not doing IM this weekend but I am doing a 70.3 in late October so I am looking for places in the general Dane/Jefferson Co area to OWS. I swim alone and therefore I try find a place that has a long beach/swim area where I can stay shallow enough to touch bottom but still get some extended swim laps. Lake Ripley was my location of choice but that beach closes after Labor Day. Anyone know of some Lake Ripley like options that would still allow public access? I know the quarry in Verona is an option but that is a fairly small swim area. Any other ideas? |

Extreme Veteran 451 Stoughton, WI | Subject: RE: Dane/Jeff Co OWS Would Lake Kegonsa state park be too far? I have no idea what their hours would be as far as the swim beach goes, or if they even close for the season, beachwise. |
