The Illinois state parks that will be closing on November 1st, 2008 include the
following:
* Castle Rock State Park, Oregon
* Lowden State Park, Oregon
* Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park, Sheffield
* Illini State Park, Marseilles
* Channahon Parkway State Park, Channahon
* Gebhard Woods State Park, Morris
* Hidden Springs State Forrest, Strasburg
* Kickapoo State Park, Oakwood
* Moraine View State Park, Leroy
* Weldon Springs State Park, Clinton
* Wolf Creek State Park, Windsor
"Along with the state park closings, Illinois will also be closing 25
historical landmarks, including four National historic Landmarks. These
closings will take effect on October 1st, 2008. These closures will definitely
be hitting the local economies pretty hard. Many of these historical landmarks
are big tourist attractions and bring in much needed funds across smaller
communities while also drawing in visitors and tourists to little known areas."
