Visit CLPL's New StoryWalk® at Three Oaks Recreation Area

Enjoy the scenic outdoors and a good story, too, when you visit Three Oaks Recreation Area. In partnership with the city of Crystal Lake, the Crystal Lake Public Library has a new StoryWalk® feature along the new Lake Loop Trail at Three Oaks Recreation Area.

The StoryWalk® starts near The Board House and continues west a short distance along the trail. The first story on the walk is “Who Ate Steve?,” a humorous children’s book written by Susannah Lloyd and illustrated by Kate Hindley. The stories will be changed out every few months so you’ll always have a new story to look forward to.
