Family Gathering - Thanksgiving 2023
This year is going to be very special! Celebrating Thanksgiving together at Crooked Lake.
Crooked Lake
Located in beautiful Babson Park, north of Frostproof. This town is slightly less than two square miles and home to Webber International University.
This town is very laid back, and surrounded by orange groves that span as far as the eye can see. Nestled along the Ridge Scenic Highway, the area provides great hiking opportunities to nature lovers and introduces travelers to historic communities and rural agriculture that Central Florida is famous for.
