Amenities: Located along the Illinois River Road (Forest Road 4103). The road bed cinches down into a single lane, advancing along the steep cliffs, then slopes to a level river terrace. There are two log cabin style picnicking pavilions on site. The pavilions and the more traditional day use area are linked by way of a small arched metal foot bridge spanning over Six Mile Creek. In addition to Six Mile, there are numerous additional swimming holes just downstream along Illinois River Road.
Directions: From Highway 199 turn west on Illinois River Road in Selma, go approximately 8 miles and look for signs and a parking lot on your left.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
