When the kids and I first drove up to Lake Lou Yaeger last summer I knew that I found a hidden treasure right there in Litchfield, IL! My happy place smack dab in south central Illinois.
See, we aren’t boat people (although I would love to be one) but we are water people! I have the best memories growing up spending the summers in the lake. A new one each weekend. Summer camps. That roped off swimming area. That platform that I was finally old enough to swim out to.
So when we pulled up to Milnot Beach on Lake Lou Yaegar my heart fluttered a bit! It was 50 minutes door to door and took me back at least 25 years. We had a great time and finally got a chance to bring Matt back there just a couple days ago!
If you live in Central Illinois make sure to add this gem to your bucket list! It is super clean. Lifeguards on duty. There is an air conditioned snack bar! It’s only $3 for kids, $4 for adults and the 4 and under crew is free. TIP: Bring cash! They do not accept cards and the nearest ATM is back in Litchfield.
