Spot Details
-Crystal Lake is great for snow kiting. The sign the lake ice is safe is when the park district leaves the Main Beach boat ramp gate open. There are a few trees along the shore but there is plenty of open space. Depending on wind direction there could be shifty conditions since the lake is about 1/2 mile by 3 miles long. Not recomended for kite surfing as boating traffic is often a hassle.
