Saturday July 28th is the date of the Cardboard Cup Regatta. Get your boats ready for the race.

Need cardboard? – Call the Park District at 815-477-5007 before picking up.

Pick-up at Park District Garage, Main Beach, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.

Unfortunately, the Regatta is being cancelled for Saturday, July 29 (there is not another rescheduled date for this year).

From the Crystal Lake Park District: The lake water is still very high and we are unable to open the swim area and guard this area safely.

Motorized boats are still restricted from using the lake. Many piers and boats are under water and could cause a hazard.

In addition, both main and west beach swim areas will remain closed through next Monday. We are hoping the water will go down and the swim areas can be re-set up and be ready to open on Tuesday.
