Summary
Swimming in crystal-clear lakes like Green Bay and Mineral Point feels like stepping into a postcard—so pure you can see the bottom. But experts warn: don’t drink it, especially while wearing a wetsuit. The author’s childhood memories of Lake Pend Oreille, where they’d bathe and see boulders beneath the surface, contrast with today’s access barriers like private signs at Sourdough Point, symbolizing a growing disconnect from nature. From cliff-jumping legends like Uncle Tom to the quiet privilege of clean water, this episode reminds us to cherish these lakes—but not by drinking them. Use them, teach the next generation, and protect them, because pristine waters are no longer guaranteed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
