Cool off: Redgranite Quarry a The Redgranite Quarry is a summertime hotspot for locals and vacationers. Visitors are allowed to swim at their own risk. Diving clubs often find the quarry to be one of the best clear water diving spots in the Upper Midwest. Fishing is also popular, as various species of fish have been stocked through the years. Discovery of red granite at the quarry site in the 1880’s sparked a mining boom that brought skilled stonecutters from Europe to settle in the area. Granite paving blocks from the quarry were used in streets as far away as Chicago. The quarry was closed in the 1920’s after concrete and asphalt came into popular use for paving. It is now one of the deepest bodies of water in Wisconsin. In 1995, the quarry was designated a village park. Redgranite Quarry Park is located on the north side of State Highway 21 behind the post office. In the summer of 2008, the land around the quarry underwent an extensive cleanup that made it even more attractive for visitors and allowed it to be visible from the road. The Quarry Park is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week.
