Kickapoo State Recreation Area Tours

A group of geese swimming in a partially frozen lake surrounded by reeds and trees.
Step outside and enjoy the natural beauty of Kickapoo State Park. Strap on your boots, bring a map and hit the hiking trails.

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Central Illinois. Kickapoo State Recreation Area is a great place to kick off here, but there are plenty of other interesting attractions to visit. David S. Palmer Arena, Harrison Park Golf Course, and Sleepy Creek Vineyards are not far from the protected natural landscape and will top off your day nicely.

Great views, terrible service. Unfortunately I did not enjoy my stay because of the overwhelming rudeness of the staff. The front desk looked around as I approached, both arriving and checking out. Fully staffed but I had to alert them I was standing there. The bell hops were excellent. Very friendly. As well as the bartender in the lobby and the waitress on the rooftop. However everyone else not so much. Please work with your frit dosk staffers. As they set the tone.
