Lakes are such calm locations, why not visit Rip Slough in close proximity to Scuds Lake, and if you came to camp A-ok Campgrounds Of Frankfort is a glorious location to do that. There are plenty of people from Chicago-Naperville-Joliet here at Scuds Lake; a round of golf at nearby Sanctuary Golf Course is a good way to kill some time. A lovely lake like Gun Club Lake close to Scuds Lake is a nice place to pop by, and a glorious nearby hotel is ChicagoTinley Park

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.... |
