Did not see Wolf creek on the list. Did they close it again!!

Wolf and Eagle are IDNR state parks. Check the IDNR site for that info.

There were people camping at Wolf Creek this past weekend. Not sure about Eagle Creek but assume it is also open. You can contact the Eagle Creek office at 217.756.8260 and they can get you details.

Shonn I got your cell # unless it's changed. Will try to make contact when it gets closer. Maybe we can find each other on the water this year?!!
