Illinois Beach State Park

When you think of beaches (or at least me anyway) I don't think at all of Illinois, but I was surprised to find out that not only are there beaches in Illinois, there are some nice ones that I need to visit soon.

Illinois has challenges as all states do. The state also has lots of things to brag about. There's all that Abraham Lincoln history. If you're a baseball fan, there are the White Sox and Cubs. The one thing I do believe that Illinois should get more credit for is its...beaches. Yes, Illinois really does have some outstanding beaches.
