Local Parks

Turnberry Pond

If you would like to fish in the Turnberry pond you must have a fishing license. Children under the age of 16 do not need a fishing license, but if an adult plans on helping them with bait, casting their line, etc, it is suggested the adult have their fishing license, otherwise they could potentially be ticketed.

Turnberry pond is home to wildlife including fish, geese, and the occasional deer.

Davis Creek Campground (1/2 mile) and the Kankakee River State Park

Davis Creek is home to camping, fishing, and the entrance to the 10.5 mile Kankakee River State Park trail. Three and a half miles of crushed gravel trails lead from Davis Creek to the Kankakee River State Park, where 7 miles of paved trails await you. Two large campgrounds, a suspension bridge, and an archery range can all be found at the Kankakee River State Park.
