State parks in illinios that I have been to have no alcohol however I have talked to rangers and park employees and they know that it goes on but don't care about the adults who drink responsively aka quietly and don't cause problems. The signs give them backup to throw out the disrespecting partiers/problem makers. For those who are quiet never had issues. I advoid SP's during the holidays as they are over packed and too much partying goes on. Wecome to our state and hope you enjoy your stay

I lived in Illinois for 30 years including bike riding distance from one of the state parks in question, and I have never heard of this rule being enforced. Fortunately I live out west now and there is endless public land to enjoy.

I live near Kickapoo state park in Illinois and it is posted no alcohol but not normally enforced if discrete. Another thing you might check would be county parks in Illinois. There is a nice one nearby that does allow alcohol but will toss you out if rowdy. Each county park sets their own rules. Jim.

Sounds like Michigan.
Parks in the southern third of the state, near the population centers, tend to restrict or ban alcohol. But with the exception of a couple of parks, the rule is lightly enforced, only invoked when the rangers want to toss the rowdies. So if you are discreet and don't bother your neighbors, it's all good.
However, Michigan decided some time ago to crack down hard on drunk boaters, and banned alcohol at many boat ramps and parking areas. So don't drink at the boat ramps, or you'll find yourself with a hefty ticket, at the very least.
