Description
Whether you visit for an afternoon or stay a few days, you will leave Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Recreation Area with many happy memories.
Located in Stephenson County just west of Route 73 on Lake Road, the park is 6 miles south of the Illinois-Wisconsin state line and 3 miles north of Lena.
Highlighted by a 40-acre lake and all the recreational opportunities there, the park also offers multi-use trails, picnic areas, and RV, tent, equestrian and youth group campgrounds.
Lake Le-Aqua-Na�s name is the result of a contest sponsored by the Stephenson County Sportmans Club, one of the park�s many sponsors. The name is a combination of the town of Lena and the Latin word for water, aqua.
I made this photograph on a chilly October morning. The leaves were ablaze with color but I decided to try converting the image to black and white with a touch of toning to bring out the contrast in the image. This image is the result of that conversion.
