Bayou Bluff Point of Interest

Located near the Illinois Bayou, the area exhibits picturesque bluffs and breathtaking scenery. 

Effective October 2021, Bayou Bluff became a Point of Interest. The fees are suspended for camping and day use and is now open all year.  Upper loop is closed to camping and will be eliminated completely. Use of the vault toilet, large pavilion, three shelters, and a small pavilion will remain. The pavilions are managed on a first-come, first-service basis. Trash services are managed by visitors as "pack-it-in, pack-it-out," and Leave No Trace ethics are posted on information kiosks.

Active partner groups and volunteers are helping extend the life of the current amenities, excluding trash services.
