Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor is a splendid place near Goose Lake, and Bruce Lake is a nearby lake that you could go to. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Ramada Bolingbrook, and if you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Des Plaines. This is no spot for people who don’t like to have fun. Really brilliant skiing awaits you at Villa Olivia, and Big Run Golf Club is a

If you get bored of Goose Lake, you could also explore nearby Rock Lake, and you'll meet a lot of people from Chicago-Naperville-Joliet here. Why not camp at Martin Campground-joliet since you're here at Goose Lake, and if you need
a spot to stay Super 8 Motel - Romeoville/Bolingbrook/I-55 N is a tremendous choice.
This lake is so wonderful. Paul and Mary's Raceway Camping is a great local campground. Skiing at Four Lakes is one of those things you just should do; there's a splendid forest called Black Partridge Forest Preserve.

To inspect for log jams beneath the gravel pit access bridge directly east of Romeoville High School, you are allowed to drive up to, but not ACROSS the bridge, according to a security gaurd at the gravel pit. To check for log jams, I'd park BEFORE the bridge, and get out and walk across the bridge, looking over the railing. Also, there's a spot where you can walk up to the river edge. Facing east, it will be on your right, before the bridge. I'm uploading a photo dated April 12, 2002. It's a view of that bridge, taken from the water, looking southwest.... |
