Summer is officially upon us.

And Three Oaks Recreation Area in Crystal Lake is gearing up for the summer season with plans to have new offerings this year.

Construction is underway this month on a new stand up paddle board area on the South Lake at Three Oaks, according to a Facebook post on the Three Oaks Recreation Area website. The “board house” will be run by staff from Alpine Accessories in Lake in the Hills and is expected to be complete by June 1.

More information on SUP, rentals, events and lessons is available on the city’s website.

Also new this year, a scuba diving facility is expected to open in late May.

More information on hours of operation and rates for using the facility can be found online.

Meanwhile, work is underway on a much-anticipated cable wakeboarding park. The Quarry Cable Park & Grille is expected to open next spring, according to an update on the Three Oaks website.

The Quarry Cable Park & Grille, which will be located on the North Lake, is being built as a 32-acre cable wakeboard park. The wake park, which uses cables to pull wakeboarders through the water, will have jumps and other features.

There will also be a beachfront bar & grille, fire pits, live music, sand volleyball, baggo, and open-air yoga.

On the south lake at Three Oaks, the beach opened for the summer season over the weekend and will remain open through Labor Day weekend.

Also starting this past weekend, the marina will begin to offer its extended summer hours. The marina will be open from 5:30 a.m. through sunset daily through the Labor Day weekend.
