Expansive, edgy, and often windy, the city of Chicago is not only one of America's largest cities but also boasts a dense concentration of cultural sights to match its size with summer lake-based activity thrown in to seal the deal.
Anglers must not use more than 2 poles and each pole must not have more than 2 hooks or lures attached while fishing.
Paved and gravel roads leading to the lake provide excellent all weather access.
A public boat launch provides boat access to the lake. Fishing from small boats is the preferred way to fish this lake.
Only trolling motors are allowed in the refuge from October 15 through March 1st. Motor use is limited to a maximum of ten horsepower during the remainder of the year.
