About

Pine Lake is a boat launch in Illinois, about 6.6 miles from the town of Pinckneyville. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to get on the water. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Du Quoin show May highs around 76°F and September highs near 80°F, with fewer wet days in September. Two hiking trails sit close by: Lost Forty Trail, about a mile away, and Pyramid Trail, just over a mile off. Paddlers looking for moving water can head to Galum Creek, roughly 4 miles from the launch.
