About

paraphrase: you can still view the birds even though Chicago Lake is busy You can find four campsites at the lakefront and an improvement on the boat launch at its north end. site 1 is a small, isolated site primarily located in woods. You should book with a 4 wheel drive and sleep in their tents because of the poor access road. People prefer a one family only site over others because they want to remain private from other campers. Swimming is a poor sport.
