Embarras River Tourism Council, Jasper County IL

Are you looking for a day away from the hustle and bustle of life? How about a chance to get in touch with nature? Do you want to watch bald eagles or other birds? Fish year round in one of the top lakes in Illinois? Hike through miles of trails? Experience the fun of a bar trail or dive bar? How about spending the day at the aquatic center and the evening by the campfire or experiencing a drive in theater? 

Just a short drive from both Interstates 57 and 70, there is a hidden gem nestled between farms and woodland. A place where the hectic pace of the city is exchanged for the calm, serene sounds of nature. Where you slowly wake up to the magnificent rays of the sun slowly peeking through the curtains and dancing across you as you are serenaded by the melodious sounds of our harmonic feathered friends. 

Come join us in Jasper County, IL where both the nature and modern convenience come together in a beautiful medley just waiting for you.
