Do stop by Gaskin Lake while you're in this part of Illinois. There's so much to do here at Gaskin Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Williams Hill Pass OHV Park is a wonderful spot for that, and there are some delightful whitewater spots on Bear Branch. So much cool stuff to do at Gaskin Lake, so little time. Going for a hike on the River to River Trail is always a pleasant adventure, and after a long day outdoors Super 8 Motel - Harrisburg is a perfect
| | | |
| | place to spend a night or two.
This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Lusk Creek offers some brilliant whitewater, and if you've had enough of Gaskin Lake, Parker Lakes is nearby. Gaskin Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; most of the rain falls all through March; the driest month of the year is January. De Neal Branch is one of the streams nearby that might be worth a visit, and visit nearby Davis Slough.
