Horseshoe Lake State Park - Park in Granite City - 3321 IL-111, USA

Absolutely beautiful lake!! The breeze feels amazing on this June day. Great place to fish, walk, have a picnic, family day at the pavilions. The water is beautiful ❤️

Despite its proximity to industrial Granite City, there are several miles of wooded trails with wetland vegetation, hundreds of water fowl and even some Bald Eagles, and some well-maintained campgrounds with play equipment for kids. We even saw a Beaver lodge. It is also surprisingly nice in winter. If you live in St. Louis, try out the trails on Walker island in the middle of the lake.

Going through Southern IL about to cross into MO. Passed a beautiful water area. Exited but couldn't get back to the place I saw. Instead I found HORSESHOE LAKE. What a great location! I sat in the shade beneath an old tree for the rest of the afternoon. There were three blue herons flying about. It was peaceful. I am sure it's a busy place normally, but that day was quiet. So glad I took the road less traveled. Yeah, I said it....

It's been great for my stay. Fairly clean doesn't seem like anyone who shoots ducks or waterfowl can shoot very well. Considering you hear about 9000 shots ring out but dude only have one duck.

I went around sunset. There were a lot of places to park & walk up to the water. There were hundreds of birds that peppered the sky. I think there were biking trails but I didnt go on them. There were a couple of bathrooms and a few playgrounds.

Stalking is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear, that's what you get there it used to be a great place to go

Camping near St Louis for $8! Not too far from the raceway, couldn't hear it at night and it was a nice place to stay while passing through St. Louis. Amazon fulfillment center nearby.

Very nice lake!!! It's only 8.00 for the night! No electric or showers. There is water and a dump station. A lot of great fishing out there. You can during the day and fish on the lake or picnic lunch at the benches. We had a horrible experience with a grounds keeper there but was taken care of. Aside from that issue it was nice. Take correct cash or pay through reserve America ahead of time because no one is ever in the office.
