Lehigh Park Climbing

This area is completely unheard of! Mainly due to the fact it is hidden in central IL.

Access during Spring-Summer is buggy, full of underbrush, and difficult, but some areas (notably the Mushroom Slab) are still easily accessible.

You can park across from Lehigh Park in a parking lot.

Cross the road and continue towards the outdoor band stand. Go past the band stand towards the back left corner of the park.There you should stumble upon a trail. Follow that trail until it starts to go downhill.

Take the second trail on your left (this is a downhill mtb course so watch out!), it should take a sharp left and then open up into a a clearer area. Continue along the downhill course and look to your left.

Alternatively, you can park at the Vermillon River Boat Launch. Follow the desire path West-South-West of the main parking area (41.30139071362584, -89.04024670645529). This quickly turns into a footpath that you can follow along the river for roughly a quarter mile. This will put you below the starting area, which you'll need to walk away from the river towards the cliffs to reach.

Look all around we are finding new boulders every time we go out there.
