Beautiful country lake and location, quiet, pretty, lots of good views and wildlife, as well as good opportunities for camping, fishing and any other outdoor pursuits. Not too bad a haul from St. Louis, without the crowds of other similar spots in southern Illinois. Staff is friendly and works hard, but state cuts have hit them hard and I always worry about the future of this very nice retreat from the day-to-day world. Visit, take a walk, a run, a bike or a boat. Have fun!

Great state park for tent camping. Some nice spots right on the lake all with fire pits and tables. It is a small lake and much more quiet than some of the larger lakes nearby. There are boats to rent, a decent little bait shop and lots of places to picnic. Well maintained and mowed nicely. 10HP limit on lake and no swimming, just fishing. I like to do a little cyclo-camping here. Not as flashy as the big lakes but a nice quiet get a way.
