"Lined with about a mile of white sand and backed by scenic mountains, Crystal Lake's rich history dates back to the 1700s. The bathhouse with restrooms and a concession stand is made from granite mined from the nearby hills. The lake's cold waters are filled to the brim with rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch, among others, making it great for anyone who prefers to spend their beach days casting a line instead of swimming or serving a volleyball. It's a wonderful place to spend the night. There's an on-site cottage stocked with all the necessities (including a canoe) available for rent." - Travel + Leisure Editors
