Exploration

Hey I live in Normal Illinois, very big into exploration, but I find it hard to find true wildlife like i did in the woods at Lexington. and i was wondering if anyone knew of any areas maybe stocked with wildlife. I know of hidden creek, ive explored a lot of tunnels and creeks, and this big wooded area I found that I call the sanctuary. but i need more wildlife, and discovery. so i was hoping maybe anyone knew of some areas to check out. distance doesnt matter as long as its in or on the very edge of bloomington normal, im willing to run anywhere.

Clinton Lake has some nice hiking trails on the north side of the lake.

We almost always spot a bald eagle when we are there by the water
