Sankoty Lakes is an adventure retreat offering outdoor recreation and relaxation, all leading to an experience unlike any other. Let’s start with where to stay from comfortable cabins and private glamping, camping at our beautiful RV Resort, to our unique streamside tents – we put you in a front-row seat for all things outdoors.

Then there is our unique location along the Illinois River and our incredible water quality. Because of its unique natural characteristics (a direct result of the ancient Kankakee Torrent), the Sankoty Aquifer offers a level of water quality that presents a rare opportunity to raise trout in the Midwest. Beautifully clean and clear, and 52 degrees year-round, Sankoty Lakes offers some of the most amazing fishing experiences in the region.

Additionally, our controlled-cell wetlands attract thousands of migratory waterfowl every year. And did we happen to mention our fabulous farm-to-table dining experience? Some of the best in the Central Illinois River Valley at 11:11 the bourbon restaurant and bar.

Then there are our family activities from boating, biking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and birdwatching, to traditional fishing and fly fishing – we offer an endless outdoor adventure on water and land.
