     If you need a location to stay Super 8 Du Quoin is a magnificent choice, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Little Grassy Creek. Christopher Lake gets lots of water; March is the month that gets the most rain, and January meanwhile is the driest month. A beautiful lake like Christopher New Reservoir near Christopher Lake is a good site to stop at, and Christopher Lake is perfect enough to spend more than a day at,  
   Squirrel's Nest is a perfect local campground. This lake is so wonderful. You'll come across a striking lake called Izaac Walton Lake near Christopher Lake, and you can take a little journey to Christopher New Reservoir Dam while you're here at Christopher Lake.
Having a glorious time at Christopher Lake is easy. A brilliant close by hotel is Days Inn Benton. Throughout the months of summer highs here at Christopher Lake reach the 80's, and the nighttime
 
               is a tad colder of course, ordinarily in the 60's. During the winter the highs are typically in the 30's while Christopher Lake night low temperatures through the wintertime are in the 20's. There's so much to do here at Christopher Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Bates Campground is a great place for that, and Christopher Lake is a spot with many visitors from Marion-Herrin.
