Ol’ Time Wagon Rides a Fall Tradition at Sterne’s Woods

From now until November 3, families and groups can celebrate autumn with a Crystal Lake Park District wagon-ride and good times around a campfire. The wagon-ride takes you into Sterne's Woods, located north of Veteran Acres at 5617 Hillside Road. The tractor drawn wagon-ride takes up to 20 participants into the deep woods.  Afterwards, you will enjoy time around a campfire.  With groups of 21 to 40 participants, half the group will ride while the other half enjoys the campfire and vice versa.  Groups can supply food, such as snacks and items that can be cooked on a stick over a fire, but no alcohol is allowed. 

Evenings:        Monday-Sunday

Days:               Saturday and Sunday
