Coming from I-90:

2.  You will pass by Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, and then come to a Y intersection with a stop light.  If you are going to the lake, you need to take a left (use the turn lane) onto McHenry Ave.  If you are going to hotels in the Crystal Lake area, go straight on Rakow Rd. and continue to Rt. 31. 

Continue to the Lake
3.  Take McHenry Ave until you get to US-14 (Virginia St).  Make a left turn.

4.  If you have a boat trailer, you need to go through the next light (Dole Ave), then take a left onto Lake Shore Drive (see Landmark Map below for more detail).  Use both lanes to make sure traffic does not try to get around you while turning. All other visitors need to take a left onto Dole Ave.
Boat Trailers
Lakeshore Dr. will go directly to the launch ramp.  You need to make sure that either a member of the Crystal Lake Rowing Club or the Crystal Lake Park District is available to let you into this area if you are coming before race day.  The launch ramp leads to Main Beach.
 
 
PLEASE OBEY THE CROSSWALK SIGNALS!  DOLE AVE IS BUSY.
