Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area

In my mind, this is one of the most underutilized recreation areas in the state of Illinois. Located north of Virginia Illinois, it is centrally located, has beautiful scenery with a couple of small lakes that are great for putting the canoe in the water for some easy paddling. The campground is rarely occupied by more than a couple of campers, and there are even some nice little cabins on the shore of one of the little lakes.
