		THE GATES

	What are the gates? When Island Lake first originated (see 50th Anniversary section for history) it was a resort town. The only way to visit friends or family was to enter through one of three gates. The original gates are long gone but the memory lives on by the markers pictured.

	Gate one is located on Route 176 and Eastway Drive.


	Gate 2 is located on Route 176 and Roberts Road (Midway Drive).


	Gate 3 is located on Route 176 and Lakeview Drive.
