Search Carlyle Illinois

Known as a park for campers and boaters, this park is on the southwest shore of Carlyle Lake, the largest man-made lake in Illinois. The reservoir's strong wind conditions and its expanse of water-18 miles long by 5 miles wide-make it a perfect sailing lake. Controlled pheasant hunting is also available in season.
