Karen: Carthage Lake is a beautiful lake on the western edge of Carthage, IL. At the entrance to the area, near Hwy. 136, is Jaycee Park with a kids play area, shelter houses for group gatherings, and seasonal restrooms. The Carthage Pool is across the park road. A crushed limestone path is great for walking with challenging hills. The 9-hole Carthage Golf Course is accessed from the lake road as well.
Robert Wagner: Is a WOMAN smarter than a MAN? A hidden GEM. Dr. ALICE KIBBE was a woman WAY before her time. If your an Illinois history buff or a rock hound this is the place for you. Small but mighty. This place has a lot of interesting tid bits about forgottonia.
Debbie Cherry: We attended Harvest days. I loved it!! Will never miss another.. lots of hand made crafts and food reasonably priced. Check out the museum sometime too. Very cool!
Scot Deneau: Very interesting place. Good hipster style picture opportunities and if you go early Oct
The harvest daze is going on which is always pleasant!
Maimi Boucher: Beautiful space. Camped here and enjoyed the sights. Raccoons visited the first night at dusk and stole some raw jalapeno burgers, but once we realized what was happening we were able to better secure our food. They did stick around all night that first night, trying to get into anything. But our second and third nights were mostly raccoon free.
Joseph Nield: A fascinating story about an even more fascinating historical figure. Well worth the visit, and the ladies staffing were incredibly hospitable.
Sue Dildine: Very clean. I take my dog here frequently. There are many different areas, with picnic areas, playgrounds, fishing docks, and campgrounds. The forested areas are well maintained. The best part is its never crowded!
