USACE recreation areas with boating listed: Illinois

59 areas. Each is a recreation area, not a single ramp. USACE lists boating there; it does not say how many ramps, whether they suit your trailer, or whether they are open today.

Boating field when read: 59 Open. Source: US Army Corps of Engineers Recreation Site layer, retrieved Oct 26, 2026, about 4:27 PM ET. USACE says its data may be freely reused (usace.army.mil/open). All states.
