Illinois lakes

One of the most beautiful and iconic bodies of water in Illinois holds the most deaths in North America. It's being called the 'most dangerous'.

Lakes are full of creatures, we all know that, but did you know that many lakes in Illinois are home to slithery snakes too?

The Great Lakes are a popular tourist destination each summer, but be careful, you could encounter ghosts of shipwrecks past while enjoying time on these waters.

I was watching a documentary the other day about the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench, the deepest part of any ocean on the planet. Its depth has been measured at 11,034 meters, or since we're all Americans here, 36,201 feet. That's 6.85 miles deep.

If your ideal summer is camping near one of Illinois' over 150 lakes, you need to see this. Here are 5 of the most recommended spots for your favorite vacation.
