Rend Lake
About
Rend Lake is a boat launch in southern Illinois, about 2.8 miles from the town of Ina. It gives boaters a put-in on the lake, and the surrounding area offers a short hike if you want to pair time on the water with time on foot. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 76°F with lows near 56°F in May to highs around 80°F with lows near 58°F in September. Midsummer is hotter, with July highs typically in the upper 80s. The closest nearby spot is the Greentree Trail, about 3 miles away, which makes it easy to add a walk to a day on the lake.
