TOP LAKES AND RIVERS TO EXPLORE IN ILLINOIS THIS SUMMER

For many, summer is the time to bring out the boat, pull the swimsuit out of the back of the closet, and dig out the fishing gear. Illinois is filled with scenic rivers and lakes that serve as excellent destinations to enjoy the summer. If you are looking to boat, fish, participate in water sports, or simply relax by scenic bodies of water, we’re here to help. Below, we offer a look at some of the top rivers and lakes to explore in Illinois this summer.

Lake Shelbyville

Lake Michigan | Walter Martin

Lake Shelbyville is an expansive and pleasant lake in Central Illinois. Fishing and water sports are very common summer activities on the lake, and boats of all sizes and horsepower are welcomed. Campsites, hiking trails, and golf courses border the lake.

Lake Michigan

Lake Michigan, which runs along the Chicago metropolitan area, is the only Great Lake in Illinois. It is one of the state’s most treasured natural sights, with Chicago’s skyscrapers, scenic parks, and beaches by the coast. The beaches near Chicago bring in crowds of people looking to experience the relaxing setting and skyline views in the summer.

Lake of Egypt

Lake of Egypt is a privately owned lake near Marion in Southern Illinois. Although the lake is private, public access areas allow visitors. In certain areas, visitors can fish, swim, boat, wakeboard, and water ski. The lake is a popular option for summer homes, with many appealing properties lining the water.

Illinois River

The Illinois River is a major river that runs throughout the state, stretching 273 miles and emptying into the Mississippi River. The Illinois River, surrounded by trails and wildlife areas, is a popular destination for fishing, housing sauger, walleye, bass, and more. Also, boating on the river is an excellent experience, as it is less crowded than many of the popular lakes in the region.

Rend Lake

Devil’s Kitchen Lake

Devil’s Kitchen Lake is a stunning 810-acre lake in Southern Illinois. It is known for the thick forests that line the water and its remote and scenic atmosphere. One thing to know about Devil’s Kitchen Lake is that swimming is not allowed; however, it is very popular among anglers and boaters. The lake is known as a hotspot for rainbow trout fishing and has several boat launches that make it easy to explore.

Rend Lake is a picturesque body of water covering over 19,000 acres in Southern Illinois. In the summer, this lake is a source of endless outdoor adventure. In or near the water, you can enjoy boating, fishing, hunting, camping, mountain biking, and golfing. Cabins, small hotels, and beaches surround the lake.

Meet Judi

I always see the positive with the philosophy that any property can be improved upon and with a little tender loving care, can be made appealing for a home or investment.

As a native Chicagoan, my ties to the city and its communities combine knowledge and love for the architecture and diverse neighborhoods. I know the areas, the blocks, the businesses, the dynamics.

My professional perspective includes decades of world travel experiences. I try to understand cultural nuances, having visited Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

After earning a degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and attending graduate school, I dedicated my time and energy to teaching in the Chicago Public School system - culminating at Disney Magnet. If schools are important in your real estate decision, I will help sort it out.

Following a rewarding career in education while selling real estate part-time, I am now focused totally on real estate sales and motivated to provide quality personal service to find that special first home, second home, or multiple-flatincome property.

Passions include the arts, puppies, exercising, and searching for and eating the finest vegan cuisine.
