Crescent lake is a large, popular, year-round destination.
The lake is adjacent to Highway 58 but remains fairly serene in its forest setting. It was named in July 1865 for its shape. Pine trees surround the shoreline and sandy beaches are typical. Crescent Lake is quite family-friendly, and you'll always see a rather healthy population of RVs at the lake. The lake has three boat ramps - two on the north end and one on the southwest end.
