Moraine View State Recreation Space is positioned simply east of Bloomington, Illinois, about two and a half hours from St. Louis, Missouri.
I spent a weekend right here with a gaggle of lady campers, and this park was very secluded and enjoyable. The recreation space is centered round Lake Dawson, which is ideal for fishing and kayaking.
There may be additionally a restaurant, concessions, and kayak rental, however after we had been there, nothing was open but because it was a bit earlier than the common season.
There are additionally three climbing trails. The Tanglewood Nature path is a half-mile loop round some wetlands. I noticed a number of birds!
I additionally biked throughout the dam on the south finish of the park and hiked the Tall Timber Path, which is a 1.5-mile loop by means of the woods that results in all the primitive backpacking camp websites. The bluebell flowers had been in full bloom after we had been there!
And at last, I hiked the Timber Level path, which is a half-mile ADA-accessible path by means of the woods that leads alongside the financial institution of the lake.
Total, I actually loved this park!
