     A tremendous nearby hotel is Comfort Inn Canton, and there are plenty of folks from Keokuk-Fort Madison here. Baxter Ponds is magnificent enough to spend more than a day at, Camp Hickory Haven is a magnificent local campground, and you'll find a scenic lake called Baxter Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Have a tremendous hiking adventure along the Locust Lane Nature Trail. There's so much to do here at Baxter Ponds that you need to camp here for a while, Hickory  
   Haven Campground is a magnificent site for that. Do pop by Baxter Lake Dam while you're here at Baxter Ponds, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend 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....
