     Drury Inn Marion is a good spot to get some rest; if you're interested in hydro structures, you can have a look at Lake Echon Dam. You're almost certainly keen on lakes, Lake Thunderhawk is one of those nearby, and dry warm beds await you at Country Inn & Suites By Carlson, Marion, IL. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at A Bay Creek Ranch Campground, and unsurprisingly, this is a great vicinity for people who like lakes, Cedar Lake is a lake in close  
   proximity. This lake is so wonderful. There are plenty of people from Harrisburg here at Lake Echon.
Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. A short trip to Cedar Falls is always worthwhile, and whitewater paddling is fine on Bear Branch. Get dripping wet paddling on Lusk Creek, and if the weather is brilliant, you can go for a hike along the River to River Trail. All through the warm months at Lake Echon highs are usually in the 80's. Summer overnight
 
               lows plunge down to the 60's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's, and winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Lake Echon.
A lot of rainfall falls at Lake Echon; of all the months in a year March is the one with the most rain, and the driest month is January. Ondessonk Camp is a splendid campground nearby; East Branch Cedar Creek is in close proximity to Lake Echon and is always a joy to visit.

Buck Ridge Campground
Buck Ridge Campground was closed in 2007 and I'm very upset to see that happen. The area is depressed and could really benefit from this wonderful campground. You can still hike in but we will miss our trips and the wonderful memories that awaited us. I'm truly upset about this loss. The park is gorgeous. I hope to see an outpouring of requests to reopen this national treasure....
