Hi there! I'm looking for an awesome place to take outdoor pictures for our family. I'm wanting something with trees to get the leaves changing and possibly a little pond or bridge. Is there something around the Elgin/Algonquin/Crystal Lake area that you would recommend? Thanks!
Veteran's Acres in Crystal Lake, has a bridge, water, beautiful trees and a few months ago had a huge tree that had fallen and was on it's side (close to the bridge) that I took my kids by and photographed because it made an awesome backdrop. Otherwise, Morton Arboretum?
Lords park in Elgin, would be great location, changing leaves, great nature setting!
Perhaps Lords Park in Elgin would be a good location...There is a lovely bridge nestled between two lagoons near the pavilion...Beautiful when the fall colors arein full effect...!
Veterans Acres Park in Crystal Lake is beautiful. It also has a pond and a small bridge.
We go hiking there all the time and take the little ones to run around or play at the playground.
You won't be disappointed.
