The covered bridge may actually be at the eastbound rest area -- but either way, this is a beautiful place to get out and stretch your legs.

This rest stop has a wilderness lodge theme to it. Plenty of good refreshments available through the vending machines!

Dear State of Illinois: it would be nice to have soap in the rest room soap dispensers. Just saying.

Make sure you take a walk over the covered bridge out back and up to the scenic lookout.
