Location: Veterans Acres

Veterans Acres is been a favorite of ours for a long time. Located in Crystal Lake just outside of downtown, it has a beautiful pond with a wooden bridge. It has great colors in Spring, Summer and Fall. For a 2-hour session, we sometimes do half the session at Veterans Acres and the other half in downtown Crystal Lake.

I like to meet in the Oakwoods Lodge parking lot with the entrance just off Route 176 across from 2nd Street. The main parking lot is off Walkup Street. There is also a third parking lot at the scout lodge off Route 176 across from Main Street.
