Does Joseph go to the park regularly and is he familiar with the area?

There is a glacier lake at the park. I hope he didn't have an emergency while swimming. His car was still there so he probably is in the park still.

I don't think there is a lake, glacier or otherwise, at this park. There is a park with the same name in Colorado with a big lake but the park here in Illinois is pretty small (around 200 acres.) It IS near the Rock River however. black hawk state park museum - Google Search

Here is a trail map of the park from the State Park website. https://www.blackhawkpark.org/docs/ParkMap.pdf

I wonder if he liked swimming? I think the odds are that he is there somewhere.

Here's the park you were thinking of that had the glacial lake - that's in Iowa. Black Hawk State Park, Iowa Hopefully he didn't try and swim in the Rock River - currents, depending on the time of year, can be fairly strong.
