Try shopping at Round Lake Beach's Walmart or Dollar Tree for budget-friendly options. For a cheap night out, head to Hainesville's Alley 64 Bar & Grill for daily drink specials and live music.

Mindful meoweler tips

Round Lake Beach's Annual Fishing Derby

Cats can join in on the fun at this tradition-filled event held every June. Capture the moments of catfish catching with a cat in the middle!

Beach Rescue Cat

Attention feline lifeguards! The lakefront beach is patrolled by cats! Watch them work or help yourself. If you get in trouble, the kitty brigade will come to the rescue!

Sharks of the Lake

Don't worry, there are no sharks in this lake, but there is the indigenous muskie, a fearsome predator. Watch them jump and splash in early fall from the viewing platforms. But keep your kitties close by!
