06-2025 Massey Park in Hight rate 7 location for tourist in Clinton, IL, USAWeldon Springs State Park - Clinton Michelle Foy: Weldon Springs State Park is about a 2 hour drive from Chicago Western suburbs. It’s located in a little town of Clinton in DeWitt County. It’s a huge park offering 550 acres with varied trails, river fir swimming, camping, fishing, picnic areas, two amphitheaters and a nice veteran tribute area.
For a late May weekend, there was hardly anyone there. We felt we had the whole place to ourselves. The trail was clean and moderately easy.
There was a meadow of wildflowers and they even have a “box” trail where they have many hummingbird nests. Birds can be spotted all over but hard to catch in snapshots!
Veterans Point is very nicely done alongside the water with much patriotism which is always good to see. The walk along the water was very nice and we also discovered a dam, people hosting and kayaking.
This makes for a nice day out here!
Wimple Park - Danielle Cozzola: Not the best park, but not the worst park. There is a small fishing dock, some trails (with lots of dead ends), a pond, lots of benches, a gravel parking lot, some restrooms, and a covered picnic area.
There is potential to be great here, but Id say this is a pretty average park. Nice place to get out of the car and stretch your legs, but not much to explore here. A paved or gravel trail around the lake would be really nice!
Hippie Memorial - Arcola Jennifer Denslow: This is an odd but engaging site. The piece is an interesting work of abstract art, and if youre passing by or looking for a random day trip, its worth a stop. The town has several diverting features in addition to the memorial, including some beautiful murals and public art in the shape of brooms throughout the town.
Douglas County Museum - Tuscola Arriaga Daniel “CHIEF”: They have a lot of local history , photos, huge flintlock gun collection , local veterans history, 4 different antique Harley Davidsons , couple old cars and other machines. They are working on new old style city store fronts which should be nice once done. We will be back. Nice people too , even let us stay awhile after normal closing time since we were still looking and reading. If you like this sort of thing give yourself a couple hours to see and read.
Ervin Park - Autumn: We came a few hours to bbw and I found this park. I absolutely love wooden parks and this one is great! Wish it was closer!!
Lincoln Marsh - Wheaton Dr. Ravikiran Barigala: Hidden gem of marsh land in Wheaton. Great learning experience for kids if you go on the guided tours. It made me realize the importance of saving these precious lands from development. Its so important to prevent flooding, clean toxic waste, and regenerate ground water. There is a nice walking area around the lakes. There are some obstacle courses and even a 50 ft tall wall climbing course available only by prior appointment. There is also a fire pit but allowed only by supervision. The parking lot can have 20 cars at a time. There are 2 potable potties by the parking lot.
Cosley Zoo - Wheaton Amelia Bradford: Cute and fun! A smaller zoo with wholesome exhibits. My favorite animals were the lynx, donkeys, and the cows! All exhibits looked clean and the animals were well taken care of. A great place for families and kids.
DuPage County Historical Museum & Wheaton Park District Administration Building - Wheaton Akshay Sethia: If you love trains, you cannot miss this place. Never have I seen such a beautiful reproduction of not only a train track but an entire city. The trains operate on 3rd and 5th Saturdays, but nonetheless a beautiful place to visit any day, especially if you have kids or you have an active kid inside the adult body who cannot resist trains.
