Spoon River flows for nearly forty miles in a southeasterly direction from London Mills at the northern boundary of Fulton County to the Illinois River near the crossing point of U.S. Highway #136. Much of Fulton County is farm country and timberland. The many areas of woods and water provide an abundance of outdoor activities including great fishing and hunting. The towns and villages of Fulton County abound with great stores for shopping, great dining at the county's many fine restaurants and historical sites giving remembrance to the rich past of Fulton County. The State of Illinois maintains conservation, recreational and museum areas and facilities at various locations within Fulton County.
