Kayaking Coffeen Lake, Illinois
Share your Adventures with SpotAdventures
This was a nice paddle for the day! I only did about 2 miles or so....started to fish and lost track of the actual kayaking. Nice gem of a lake right in the heart of south-central Illinois. It is interesting, Illinois is one of those states that is overlooked sometimes in regards for great places to paddle and fish, but it has some nice opportunities. I live in the St. Louis area, so a lot of these lakes are in actuality closer than the same kind of lakes on the Missouri end.
I look forward to coming back to this lake. This is a long, narrow power plant lake, so a person could do quite a few miles on it if they wanted to. I may have to come back for an overnight trip sometime. We put in on the north access, but there is another access point in the middle that has either a picnic area or a campground right on the water.
Paddle ON!
Mike
