Construction on the new area has begun and is expected to be completed by sometime in 2010. The old Vulcan Lakes quarry will soon be a public lake and beach area. I hear that the lakes have not been fished and there are rumors of some whoppers living in there!
The project at-a-glance:
· 4300 square foot lake house with showers and lockers
· Much of the materials used for the project come from the quarry itself
· 350 foot beach
· Playground and spray park
· Concessions stand
· Walking and hiking trails
· Picnicking and grill sites
· Boats for rent – rowboats, canoes, paddle boats, and even kayaks
· Property is 462 acres
· Owned by the City of Crystal Lake since 2007
