Rend Lake is one of southern Illinois' real gems. I'm a local and believe me when I tell you that the fishing is fantastic! The resort, however, was beset with problems, foremost among them was mold and mildew in the hotel. Apparently, the lessee lost the lease and the resort is now standing derelict. I hope the issues with the resort are resolved. This was a great resource for boaters in particular. Used to be you could leave your boat in the marina, stay in the resort, and access to the lake was easy peasy Now, you'll have to take your boat in and out of the water every day. A number of nice hotels have sprung up to service boaters, but they are several miles away from the state park (on the Sesser exit). I pray that something will be done to renovate the resort. It is a sin to let this place fall in on itself. The fishing here is fantastic. Great lake and a great tourist attraction. Visit southern Illinois. It's beautiful here and the people are glad to host you.
