Having more time on our full day in Illinois, we headed over to Bell Smith Springs, another rural area that features several hiking trails and a swimming hole. The gravel road to park is bad, but this is clearly an area the locals know. It was covered up and everyone seemed to be at the swimming hole and rowdy. We didn't go the whole way over to that area since there seemed to be a lot of drinking and possibly other illicit activity going on and headed up one of the three trails, Devil's Backbone. This was a nice short little hike past a strange rock formation.
