Nestled in Macoupin County, just 7 miles southwest of Carlinville, Beaver Dam State Park is nestled within an oak and hickory woodland, offering an array of recreational options across its 750 acres. Fishing, picnicking, hiking, and both tent and trailer camping rank among the favored activities. While the beaver population has diminished in this region, the park derives its name from a historic beaver dam that once shaped its picturesque lake.
