Horseshoe Lake State Park, State park in Madison County, Illinois.
The 2,960-acre park surrounds a horseshoe-shaped lake that spans 2,400 acres, making it the second largest natural lake in Illinois.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources established this protected area to preserve natural resources and maintain recreational spaces near the Mississippi River.
Madison County Transit's Schoolhouse Trail connects the park to an extensive 85-mile network of bike paths reaching downtown St. Louis.
Visitors can access the park through Highway 111 in Granite City, where facilities for boating, camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking are available.
The park provides direct access to St. Louis via a bike trail that crosses the Mississippi River through the Chain of Rocks Bridge.
