Lake Charleston is a reservoir in Coles County, Illinois.[1] Served by Illinois Route 130, it is 2 miles (3 km) southeast of the Illinois city of Charleston.[2] Much of the lake is surrounded by city parkland, and a lakeside circular trail is 3.6 miles (6.0 km) in length. Power boats are allowed, but the lake enforces a no-wake rule. There is a fishing pier.[3]
