CRYSTAL LAKE, IL - The opening date for a much-anticipated cable wakeboard park will be a couple weeks later than originally planned but operators say crews are working hard to “get everyone out on the water as soon as possible.”

The Quarry Cable Park & Grille is now set to open on Saturday, June 11. Crews had been working to try to get the park up and running in time for Memorial Day weekend at Three Oaks Recreation area in Crystal Lake but, according to a Facebook post Monday on The Quarry’s page, more time is now needed to put the finishing touches on the facility.

The Quarry Cable Park & Grille, which will be located on the North Lake at Three Oaks, is a 32-acre cable wake park that will also include a beachfront bar & grille, fire pits, an area for live music and sand volleyball courts, according to the cable park’s website. The Quarry will also have baggo courts and will offer drop-in yoga classes. The map below shows the layout of the new park

“There’s no other cable park like this. This is bringing a new activity to Crystal Lake,” Elisabeth Landt told the Northwest Herald. Landt and partner Angie Rinn will run the cable wakeboard park.

Those interested in wakeboarding at The Quarry will be pulled along a cable system. The Northwest Herald explains the setup:

The systems, built by German company SesiTec, pull riders along at between 18 and 21 mph, Landt said.

The park will feature two basic courses and an advanced one – the advanced course features six towers that will pull up to 10 riders at a time along a course of jumps and other features. All riders will have to wear helmets and U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
