Rend Lake by AmberSky

I composed and played the classical guitar music in this video to go with photographs and videos I took in the Rend Lake area of southern Illinois. The pictures and videos are of Rend Lake, the Rend Lake Visitor’s Center, Rend Lake Cabins in the Woods, and of other sights and sounds you will find while visiting this spectacular area of Illinois.

Rend Lake is located in southern Illinois and has been designated as an important bird area of Illinois. Rend Lake was created when the United States Army Corps of Engineers dammed the big muddy river. The lake became completely filled with water in March of 1973. The lake is around 18,900 acres of water and has 20,000 acres of land. Part of the grounds around the lake is the “Wayne Fitzgerrel State Park and Recreational Center. Some of the activities you can partake in are camping, boating, swimming, archery, hunting, walking beautiful nature trails, golf, artisan shops, viewing wildlife, fishing, and much more. The Rend Lake Visitor’s Center is rich in history and is maintained by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. This year marks the celebration of Rend Lake’s 50th anniversary. Rend Lake is the perfect place to visit for people who are looking for a calming and peaceful experience while surrounded by natural beauty.
