Carlyle Lake, Illinois’ largest man-made lake, is a 26,000-acre reservoir formed by damming the Kaskaskia River. Carlyle is 107 miles from the mouth of the river. At normal pool, Carlyle Lake is 15 miles long by 3 1/2 miles wide, covering 26,000 acres.

Paddlers are welcome to camp on Friday and Saturday night, as we will be paddling both Saturday and Sunday. As soon as we know more camping details, we will be posting these under this trip in the Club Sanctioned Trip forum.

If you cannot join us for camping Friday night, meet us at 10:oo am Saturday morning at the Eldon Hazlet State Park boat ramp.

You will need to bring your lunch for a day (or 2) on the lake.

Suitable for all paddling levels.
