The open lawn area was perfect for families and small gatherings. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their time.

The dumping of trash has gotten ridiculous. There is literally a couch someone drug down by the water by the first entrance coming from Pekin right after the bushes they hung beer cans from. Whats with the water pollution and why is the milkweed being mowed down? As part of our homeschooling, we released our Monarchs out there this year and walked around cleaning up garbage and fishing line. It's a worthwhile place that human garbage is ruining. The game warden we have met was really cool and great at answering questions about hunting areas. We love Banner but we don't love the trashing of it at all. If you bring it in, take it out.

So beautiful and peaceful! Lo I've seeing all the different wildlife! I've even seen a very beautiful majestic wolf in full chase. And man do the squirrels have attitudes out there! Lately we've seen quite A few Bald Eagles. Lots of hawks. I feel so sorry for the migrating geese right now their magnetic field locators are way off. We keep seeing the birds go north then south then east then west then south west. They're very confused right now. Seen A snow goose today. First time ever. Also a pair of redtailed hawks flying together. And then A very massive bald eagle. A week ago I had to find the owner of a farm that a coyote was stuck in her pasture. They got him out and no animals were hurt. He was so scared.

Great place to fish. Plenty of places along the south lake to fish off the shore, not so much on the north lake at this time of the year. Boat ramp functional at South, no way to get a boat in off the north boat ramp. Caught several good size catfish, and plenty of cover for bass. There are several parking areas with trashcans and restrooms. Also pavilions onsite.
