The hunting and fishing at this state park is as good as it gets with giant whitetail bucks and breathtaking largemouth bass. What could be a more fun way to spend the day then fishing, hunting, and watching the crisp waters unfold. There is nothing more fun than having a full boat of fish.

Having a family reunion? Forbes State Park can cure those needs too. Have an unforgettable experience with the family including the impressive views with a pavilion and picnic tables.

You could also throw some fishing poles in the back and fish from the bank to make the afternoon that much better. It would be such a lively experience for your family because there are playgrounds by the pavilions too.

The hiking here at Forbes State Park is really entertaining. The good views and the excitement of the cemetery is amazing. There are four long trails for all levels of athleticism.

A nice pretty wake rupturing into the bank on the lake is how everyone wants to spend their days. The lake can sustain all water sports including tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, and much more. If that doesn’t interest you, you can still hop on a pontoon boat for a family fun stroll around the lake. You will never forget the enjoyment of watching your family rip wakes and fall off tubes. You can spend your whole day with those great experiences because there is no closing time on the water.


Forbes State Park is worth a visit! Just be sure to come ready for pleasure so you can encounter some of the best scenes in Illinois. These activities can excite anyone so come on out to 6924 Omega Rd. Kinmundy, Illinois for days full of enjoyment.
