What campers say

Horseshoe Lake State Park is a well-maintained, scenic wetland area popular for fishing, birdwatching, walking and picnics. Visitors praise miles of wooded trails, causeways and playgrounds, and frequent waterfowl and bird sightings (egrets, herons, red-winged blackbirds and occasional bald eagles), plus signs of beaver activity. The grounds are generally kept clean and peaceful, though the park sits near industrial Granite City, and some campgrounds may be seasonally closed. Take standard precautions on trails—ticks have been noted. Overall it’s a pleasant spot for wildlife viewing and relaxed outdoor recreation.
