About Diver’s Hole
Diver’s Hole is a shore-access Illinois River dive where the river opens into a deep, protected pool. A short steep trail drops you from limited roadside parking to a small staging beach, with a larger beach across the river for extra room. It suits divers who want a simple river entry, calm-water windows, and a self-sufficient outing, but current and tight logistics still matter.
