Argyle Lake State Park, State park in Colchester, US
Argyle Lake State Park extends across 1,700 acres of land, featuring a 93-acre lake surrounded by dense forest and natural trails.
The land served as part of the stage route between Galena and Beardstown before its transformation into a state park in 1948.
The park maintains multiple limestone quarries that reflect the industrial heritage of the region, which included coal and clay extraction.
The park provides 86 Class A sites, 24 Class B sites, and 31 primitive Class D sites for camping, along with electrical hookups and shower facilities.
Multiple reports of Bigfoot sightings within the park boundaries have emerged over recent years, adding mystery to this natural space.
