Pekin is a sought-after destination for travelers who seek the great outdoors. Few communities in Illinois compare with the high number of outdoor recreational facilities that Pekin has to offer. It is a paradise for anglers and hunters alike. Pekin is at the hub of Illinois. So, if you can't find it here, then you can bet you'll find it just a short distance away.
Neatly tucked away within the center of Illinois, visitors can enjoy the outdoors at one of our many campsites, hiking our trails, hunting in our state game lands and viewing the breathtaking landscape. Although the Illinois River may be the most well known feature, several other lakes and streams in the area produce opportunities to catch trophy fish. Nearby locations such as Powerton Lake, Banner Marsh and Evergreen Lake have churned out fish that keep anglers coming back for more.
Pekin is also a playground for outdoor enthusiasts who prefer to keep their feet dry. Various types of terrain yield trophy-sized bucks, waterfowl, turkey, pleasant, rabbits... the list goes on and on. A wealth of outdoor opportunities await every adventure seeker regardless of their hunting preferences.
With so many choices, how do you know where to start? Contact the Pekin Visitors Bureau and let us point you in the right direction.
