2026 Plunge Recap
The 2026 Plunge was one for the history books. Not only did we celebrate 30 years of plunging, we had some of the most extreme weather conditions we’ve ever seen at Sandy Point State Park. Frigid temperatures, snow, ice, wind, you name it – we had it this year, but that didn’t stop our Plunge community from showing up big time. A huge thank you to all of the plungers, sponsors, volunteers, partners, and staff who made the 2026 Plunge possible!
