Creal Springs, Illinois

The Lookout at the Lake is ideal for fishing, kayaking and renting/bringing pontoon boats. The lake house sits in a cove which does cause duck weed to grow near the shoreline. It is not ideal to swim off the dock. There is a fire ring between the house and the lake shore for campfires.

A couple of highlights on tips:

+ BYO Life Vests to ensure proper fitting and cleanliness.  We do not supply life vests. 
+ BYO Beach Towels.  We provide bath towels but do not provide beach towels for the lake. 
+ Parking is tight!  3-4 vehicle MAXIMUM.  ABSOLUTELY NO TRAILERS.  If you have more vehicles or a boat trailer, we can make arrangements for parking.
