Illinois is known for its great golf courses that are open
all year round. Play a round at the Carbondale, Marion and
Vienna areas, where the greens go on for miles and miles.
Metropolis, official hometown of Superman, has the oldest
state park in Illinois. Then strap on your helmet and get
ready for some serious riding along the Tunnel Hill State
Trail in Johnson County, known as the Bicycling Capital of
Illinois. Tour award-winning wineries on the Shawnee Hills
Wine Trail, horseback riding in the lush Shawnee National
Forest and mile upon mile of scenic country roads painted in
rich autumn hues. Spend your nights snuggled up in one of
the many
bed
and breakfasts. |
