I've been to Rend Lake once in my last boat and had a great time. I heard it can get shallow though in some spots. I'm planning on a trip to Shelbyville soon since it has come up enough now. I'm headed to LOTO tomorrow and should be bringing my boat home Thursday after my upgrades are finished.

I am west of Mt. Vernon, we go to Rend Lake & Ky. Lake , have not been to Kincaid for 10 years, water level on Rend Lake is good, just stay 200 ft. from the shorelines , you will be ok., ,We got the Fountain out Sunday for 1st. time this year on Rend & she ran real good, a lot of boats were running.,a nice hot day.

I've never been to Rend. Some friends started going down there 2 years ago and they say they love it. Others I have spoken to say they hate it. I would like to try Rend this year, but it is a little too far for me to drive (from alton) for a 1 day trip.

Rend Lake Resort has Condo's and Cabins to rent, on the lake , they are very nice, call ahead as they sell out fast.

You've probably seen my boat before.
I live about 20 miles NE of you and have done Rend lake on a 1 day trip. It's not bad at all as long as you leave early. But then again, I don't mind a 1 1/2hr pull one way for a day trip or the 4hr pull one way to LOTO for a weekend trip.
