William and I took a trip with friends to Giant City State
Park in Makanda, Illinois! This was my very first trip to explore the Giant City State Park. I have never been hiking before, so this was my first hiking trip ever.
Friends and William made it a lot of fun! The coordinates for this area are
Latitude – 37.59785 and Longitude – 89.19635 and it is 11.94 miles away from the Wham building. In
total it took about 24 miles to get there and back.
The park itself is over 4,000 acres and is perfect for recreational activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, rock climbing, and much more. Being in the nature was extremely relaxing and beautiful!- And I am not an outdoors person!
It was interesting to find out that Giant City Lodge, located in the heart of the park, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. It is made out of multihued sandstone and white oak timber. Inside the lodge they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. They also have private rooms for any partys or events you want to throw!
