A row of red lawn chairs lines the shore of Crystal Lake, a 778-acre (315-hectare) glacial lake in northeastern Vermont popular for swimming, boating, and fishing.

The lake area is known as the place where Robert Rogers retreated with his legendary Rogers' Rangers regiment in 1759 following an infamous raid on an Indian enclave in St. Francis, Quebec, during the French and Indian War.
