Pictures of Picnic Island in Riverside's Swan Pond
Did you know that in the middle of Swan Pond in Riverside, there used to be a natural island called "Picnic Island"? Here are a few pictures from the late 1800's.
Riverside, Illinois. The best village to grow up in and call home since 1875.

I read somewhere that the log "bridge" would occasionally get washed away from rain. It then became a town challenge to gather the log and return it to its place. Kind of a town social event, if you will.
