Schaffer Pond is nice enough to spend more than a day at, Bayview Camper's Park is a nice local campground; there are other sites here than Schaffer Pond, for example Circle Pond. That right there is a lot already, but it carries on; Schaffer Pond has it all.

Cedar Creek

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....
