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.
No casting of lures within 10 feet of docks, boats or boat houses.
Paved and gravel roads leading to the lake provide excellent all weather access.
Several private marinas provide boat launches. A launch maintained by the Forest Service is located near the Lake of Egypt Recreation Area. Boats up to 15 feet with no cabins are allowed on the lake.
This 2,300 acre lake with over 90 miles of shoreline is known for great fishing. The lake is owned and operated by the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative, Marion, Illinois. Take a leisurely cruse on your pontoon boat to a hidden cove or troll to your secret little nook for great secluded fishing. Water skiing, tubbing, and jet skiing is permitted in the designated open portion of the lake.
We offer a compact version of Go-Illinois for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Illinois on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
