If you are looking to cool off during a hot day, a trip to Lost Island Water Park will have your family grabbing their swimsuits. The hydro-magnetic water coasters offer a big splash. Then, catch some shade under the palm trees. Outdoor activities are plentiful at the Cedar Valley Nature Trail. With 52 miles of trails, you can hike along the route once used by the Illinois Central Railroad. The tracks were removed after the railroad service was abandoned, leaving a flat trail for running, walking and biking.
