You may catch some crappie, but your time at Spring Lake will be totally rad. Overlooked by a large sandstone bluff, Spring Lake is a long, narrow lake born from a meander of the Illinois River. It’s actually divided into two separate lakes, making it a fishing frenzy. The north has largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, muskie, channel catfish, sunfish, bullheads, and carp. The south has largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, channel catfish, northern pike, sunfish, and carp. Forgot your boat? Not to worry! Rentals are available near the south boat ramp. And if you’re yearning for the whole livin’ off the land experience, the park houses three campgrounds.

Fort Crevecoeur Park
18. Fort Crevecoeur Park
16mi from Green Valley
On January 5, 1680, a significant chapter in history unfolded when French explorers René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and Henri de Tonti established Fort Creve Coeur. This fort is unique as it served as a pivotal site for early French missionary efforts in North America, where Mass was celebrated and the Gospel was preached by the Récollets, including notable figures such as Gabriel Ribourde, Zenobius Membre, and Louis Hennepin.
The construction of Fort Creve Coeur was completed in early March, and it was aptly named "Fort Broken Heart" due to the numerous challenges faced during its building, including desertions and hardships. Despite these tribulations, the fort became a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Visitors to the site can explore the rich history and cultural significance of Fort Creve Coeur, making it a fascinating destination for those interested in early American history. The surrounding area offers opportunities for outdoor activities, including hiking and exploring nearby natural features, ensuring a memorable experience for all who visit.

Brady has an awesome setup at Creekside 1 where I stayed. There’s plenty of room to space out a decent sized group and he set me up with plenty of firewood for the site. A bathroom and shower are close, clean, and available for use. Upon getting to the site and getting setup, Brady came over, introduced himself and gave me the breakdown of the site and some trails and spots for fishing. I highly recommend this spot and would love to go back again

This is a well organized campsite. Communication was easy. Directions were sent and accurate. Brady is a wonderful greeter and made sure we had firewood at all times. His entire family is wonderful. The campground is clean, quiet, and the sites are spread out. We loved the creek and the trails. There is a living picnic table, fire pit and grill at the site we stayed at. At night we could hear the frogs/toads, owls etc.... it was so easy to relax. The shower house and outhouse were really nice to have. We will definitely be back!

We loved this property so much that we booked our next trip before we even left. We had both the Ridge and South sites between my family and my husband’s sister’s family. We hiked and biked the trailed, played in the creek, fished, played frisbee and catch with our dogs, relaxed by the fire, and connected with the sounds of nature during our stay at Horseshoe Bend. It is truly a treasure and we plan to return many times in the future. Cannot recommend enough.

This was our second year camping at Foreakers Farm/creek side valley. The place was very relaxing listening to the river 24/7. Lots of firewoods and the owner Dawn & Steve were very friendly and accommodating. It would be a lot better if those grasses and weeds be cut or remove so the campers can enjoy the view of the river from the campsite.
