Crab Orchard Lake - Cambria Neck

8comments

Most of the action happens in or behind the restroom. Some people just do it by the car. There is no telling what you will see. There are places to go out into the woods as well. Rangers don't go there much in the day or night.

Best time
8 am to dark and sometines after dark.
Crowd
Middle-aged men and SIU students, some older men, too.
Watch out
If you are there at night you need a sticker on your car.

Cambria Neck has been closed for 6 or seven years now. It used to be hot but it is no more.
