The state park consists of land and buildings originally developed as the Alton Club, a corporate retreat used in the 1930s and 1940s by the Alton Box Board Company of Alton, Illinois.[4] Rustic buildings associated with the Alton Club were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[5]
Activities and amenities
The park offers fishing and boating on two small lakes, picnicking facilities, nine miles (14 km) of hiking trails, and tours of the historic buildings. It is open on weekends during warm weather months.[4]
