Shelbyville dam — photo spot in C649+QJ, Shelbyville, IL 62565, USA


Shelbyville dam
Score4.0Small concrete spillway and river channel offering clean water reflections, textured concrete forms and tree-lined banks — good for waterscape and landscape compositions. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light on the spillway and long reflections; after rain or spring melt for stronger flow and drama. Accessible by roadside pull-offs (parking limited); bring waterproof boots for lower-bank access. No entry fees; respect private land signs and local anglers.
