Small riverside park and beach on the Illinois River offering shoreline compositions, sandbars, tree-lined banks and migrating waterfowl. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and reflections; spring and fall bring color and bird activity. Free access with roadside parking; paths are flat and mostly accessible. Expect mosquitoes in summer and limited facilities—bring supplies.
