MacKenzie Ann: This was such a beautiful little discovery. Me and my little family super enjoy nature and hikes and outdoors. This was so beautiful I highly recommend you stop and take a look if you are able. There are stairs to get to the cave but not took terrible.
Jeremy Davis: William G. Stratton State Park has excellent views of the Illinois River, fishing, boat ramp access, and access to the I&M Canal Trail. Theres truly something for everyone here.
Its a very well operated state park with ample parking, restroom facilities, benches overlooking the river, and grills.
john christof: I lived and worked in Grundy County from 1981-2016. I recently returned to visit the Grundy County Historical Center. I had a perfect experience. Oliver Jarvis and the tremendous people who contributed to this monument of historical treasure deserve our undying thanks and tribute. I cannot wait to return to the center and try to learn and absorb more of Grundy Countys rich, diverse and facinationg history.
Jeremy Davis: It looks like Gebhard Woods State Park has had better days in the past. All the ponds and water are dried up. Even the I&M Canal nearby is dried up. You have to go east near William G. Stratton State Park to see the canal, or I imagine more west is ok too.
It looked like there were some renovations occurring on the I&M Canal, so hopefully, the park is in better shape in the future.
Still, this state park is quiet, peaceful, and has natural beauty. It has access to the I&M Canal Trail. Theres a playground, parking, picnic shelter, and restrooms available.
Liveoutdoors85: Just went out here for a few hours and was very nice. Beautiful views and was nice and quiet. The visitor center is closed and looks to have been closed for a while. Will be returning in the spring when everything is blooming to take some photos. Oh also saw a bit of wildlife as well which was nice.
Eat, Shop, Explore Illinois: If youre looking for a day of exploring and treasure hunting, then this is the spot for you! Two building filled with amazing vintage, handmade and unique items. Very kid friendly. I cant wait to go back to see more!
