Governor Bond Lake

Governor Bond Lake, in Greenville, Illinois was built in the late '60's for the water supply for Greenville and some surrounding communities. It is in Bond County and named for the first Governor of Illinois. It also serves as a recreational lake for fishing, skiing, jet skiing and just relaxing and cruising on a pontoon boat.
