Wheeland Park in Riverton offers a boat ramp for accessing the Sangamon River, along with 11 campsites (some with electric hookups for $5/night), picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and a sand volleyball court.

The gravel boat ramp provides access to the river, though paddlers should be aware of numerous fallen trees and exercise caution, especially when water levels are higher and currents are strong.

Non-electric camping is $10/night, and the park has seasonal bathrooms and is open sunrise to sunset.
