About Walnut Point State Park
A small lake sits at the center of the grounds, formed within land set aside for public use. The surrounding acreage covers 671 acres, giving the water room enough to anchor the rest of the property. Oakland is the nearest community to this stretch of Illinois ground, distinct from the town listed for driving directions.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
