CRYSTAL LAKE, IL - Crews will be working hard in coming weeks to get a new cable wakeboard park up and running in time for Memorial Day weekend at Three Oaks Recreation area in Crystal Lake. A soft opening date for The Quarry Cable Park & Grille is expected to be announced soon.

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 news 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.

The Quarry is planning to open on May 28, which is the same day the swim beach at Three Oaks Recreation Area is slated to open.

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.
