BENTON TOWNSHIP, Ill. -- Clearing debris has been a long haul since twin storms slammed Adeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach State Park. But a pending contract for tree removal and related services should finish the job and allow camping and other activities to resume, possibly for the April 1 start of the camping season, reports the Chicago Daily Herald.

The Chicago Daily Herald reports that the first storm on June 30 made a direct hit on the park, toppling around 1,000 trees. The second storm hit July 11 and caused widespread and lengthy power outages, adding to the damage.

The 241-space campground and picnic area and about five miles or more of trails have been closed since the storm. Although there are no guarantees, it could be open by April 1, reports the Chicago Daily Herald.
