Some Of The Cleanest And Clearest Water Can Be Found At Oklahoma S Blue Hole Park

News just broke that some cities in the state won’t be opening their city-owned swimming pools this summer, which means you’ll have to find new springs, lakes, and rivers to cool off in when the hot weather arrives. The good news is, we have lots of great places to choose from in Oklahoma. One such place is Blue Hole Park in Salina. This privately-owned place has some of the cleanest and clearest water in the state and you’ll definitely want to put it on your summer bucket list.

Blue Hole Park is a popular summer attraction due to its ice-cold, clear water. To find this refreshing place, head seven miles east of Salina and look for the signs on the right side of the road off of N4470.

The price of admission is only $10 per carload. Bring all your lounge chairs and coolers because you’ll most likely want to spend all day here. They do have concession stands open on select days. Please check their Facebook page when the summer schedule is announced.

It’s a little oasis that boasts crystal, blue water that ranges in temperature from about 40-50 degrees. That might sound cold, but in the middle of summer, it feels incredible!

Just look how clear the water is. This photo was taken underneath the surface and if you look closely you can see a small fish.
