Parnell Boat Access Area offers a two-lane concrete boat ramp with ample parking, pit toilet, and water facilities in the upper Salt Creek area of Lake Clinton—a no-wake zone ideal for calmer boating conditions.

The access point serves as the trailhead for an 8-mile equestrian trail and provides convenient launch access for both motorized boats and paddlecraft. No launch fees apply at this Illinois Department of Natural Resources facility.
