I'm not sure this is much of a secret, but I would agree with many who say they've discovered Missouri's best swimming hole. At the very least, it has to be near the top of the water fun list.
It's unanimously considered the best swimming lake in Missouri hands down. But, extreme caution is necessary if you spend time in its waters as it also happens to be the most dangerous lake in America.
There are enough dangers when swimming that you can see and hopefully avoid. However, there's one danger that's rare but real and it happened to a Missouri swimmer who was infected with a brain-eating amoeba after swimming in a lake in Iowa.
