| | Lake is a rather common spot; July is when you get the most rain here while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Baxter Lake has to offer, you can camp at Camp Hickory Haven, and if you're interested in hydro structures, you can visit Baxter Lake Dam. And that's not all you can do here at Baxter Lake. Dry warm beds await you at Comfort Inn Canton, and float down the rapids of Cedar | |

Creek in a kayak. This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on Bear Creek, and if you need a spot to stay Fairfield Inn Keokuk is a magnificent choice. Take a little trip to Doe Run since you're here at Baxter Lake; Buck-Doe

Bear Creek
 | 13 miles away This sight is great. However I cant seem how to book an outing for my empoyees. Is there some sort of sevice that provides tubes, rafts, and lifejackets?... |
Cedar Creek
 | 16 miles away 1 PHOTO 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.... |
