point of view Big Lake is a rather typical spot; of all the months in a year July is the one with the most rain, and the driest month is February. Now, you may imagine that's a load but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here
at Big Lake. Camping is available at Bayview Campers Park, and Distillery Hollow is a great site to spend some time.

Cedar Creek
 | 1 PHOTO In response to keith's note. I've kayaked Cedar Creek several times. During heavy rain events the creek is VERY wild. And while yes it is bony, it's a fun ride.. especially since it's one of the only places to get above a class II ride around quincy. Additionally, DO NOT go to bear creek unless you plan on doing some flat water near where it meets the mississippi river. Any further upstream and you'll be dealing with hostile landowners who aren't aware of the navigability laws in illinois. You'll probably be met by a sherrif on the take out. See uploaded picture of cedar creek a couple of years ago.... |
