Crystal Lake State Park Details

With beautiful views overlooking the glistening 763-acre Crystal Lake, this state park is a relaxing place to spend a warm summers day. Visitors can spend their time swimming or boating in the waters or simply sunbathing on the 1-mile stretch of white-sand shores. It is also a great place to come with friends and families, as there are nearly 40 charcoal grills and 80 picnic tables available. Most of the park was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, although the main bathhouse was only partially built by the time the CCC program was disbanded. Local workers completed construction in 1942, and the bathhouse is now used for restrooms, showers, and concessions.
