The 26,000-acre Carlyle Lake reservoir opened in 1967 and has become a favorite spot for water sports, hunting, wildlife viewing, and other outdoor recreational activities in Illinois.
With five known nesting locations, it also is a hot spot to view the state-threatened osprey. It was not always this way.

Located in the Shawnee National Forest within LaRue-Pine Hill Research Natural Area, is a one-of-a-kind place that locals call Snake Road.
Snake Road is a 2½-mile-long gravel road that is closed to vehicles and open to foot traffic in observance of the biannual reptile and amphibian movement to and from the limestone cliffs and LaRue Swamp. Snake Road is great for viewing snakes in their natural habitat and is also a great place to view wildlife and local flora. Twice a year, the LaRue-Pine Hills reptiles and amphibians experience seasonal movements; in the spring they leave their winter shelter and head to the swamps, and in the fall, they return to the limestone bluffs to stay over winter.
