2025 Spoon River Drive

The Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive Associates invite you to come to Fulton County, Illinois and enjoy the natural wonders of the Spoon River Valley. The Spoon River, which starts at Medina, has carved a wide scenic valley through Fulton County as it flows from London Mills to the south and east where it joins the Illinois River near the southeastern corner of the county. Fulton County offers unusual beauty of the colors throughout the Spoon River Valley, which inspired founders to hold the first  Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive. The Scenic Drive has been held each year during the first two full weekends of October since 1968.

The entire Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive covers 140 driven miles, and includes: Bernadotte, Canton, Cuba, Duncan Mills, Farmington, Lewistown, Native Trails Winery, Red Brick School, and SRJ Winery.
