Carlyle Lake is a 25,000 acres reservoir largely located in Clinton County, Illinois, with smaller portions of the lake within Bond and Fayette counties. It is the largest man-made lake in Illinois, and the largest lake wholly contained within the state.
What Carlyle Lake has to offer you?
Carlyle Lake is a premier location for outdoor sports. Known to sailors, it is one of the best and most challenging for sailboats. There is also boating, fishing, hunting, bird watching, sand beaches, and camping areas. Hotels, cabins and golf courses make the area a true outdoor lover’s playground.
If you like photography this place is definitely for you. Amazing views and sunrises and sunsets that will blow your mind.

FREEFALL AT 120 MPH!
Freefall at 120 MPH is something that cannot be described and you have to experience it for yourself. It is a must at least once in a lifetime. All you need to do is arch, smile and have fun.
CANOPY FLIGHT
Canopy flight is about 5 to 7 minutes long. Some people say this part is even better than freefall. You will go from fast, loud, extreme freefall speeds to peaceful, euphoric, sensational canopy glide. Skydiving has it all. Canopy flight will give you the best view of Carlyle Lake and it’s surrounding.
