Square gets better as you get past where the students have screwed up the bottom. From the beach in Golden Acres swim along the 12'-16' line following the shore to the left. When you get out far enough in turns into a pretty nice vegetation covered flat that is in about 18'-20'. If you stand on the shore you can see a marker pretty far up the shore to the left. That is where you want to head. After finishing BOW I can't see any reason to want to go back to the platforms. There is actually some nice diving in Square. Unfortunately most people associate Square with what they see after 5 classes have had at it on a weekend morning. Tip 1 for MN diving, learn to frog kick and then only do that. Very little can wreck the diving here more than the standard kick you see most people do. A frog kick keeps the diver from stirring up the bottom. The rope course is up all year long. I swam part of it in February. If you aim for the center of the lake the bottom gets down to something like 63'. A friend and I swam out once just to see where we would end up. We turned around when we reached 54'. A vast plain of mud. JoelW
