What is a week day outing?

LaSalle Lake is a perched cooling lake impounding 2,058 surface cooling acres of water with 100 percent of the shoreline comprised of rock rip–rapped dikes. The average depth of the lake is 15 feet, but there are excavated areas within the lake up to 70 feet deep. Caution should be used on windy days as LaSalle Lake may become extremely rough. For safety, please observe wind warning lights. There is usually a 20 degree water temperature difference between the discharge and the intake. 

Shore fishing 

Just miles west of Chicago, off U.S. 30, urban landscape gives way to 1,550 acres of rolling prairie and a 318.8-acre man-made fishing lake. Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area provides a convenient, natural haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life.  

Anglers will be thrilled with Lake Marie’s 480 surface acres of fishery. A variety of species abound. You can find channel catfish, yellow bass, carp, yellow perch, bluegill, largemouth bass, crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, walleye, orange spot sunfish, northern pike, and the much sought-after muskellunge. Winter’s arrival only brings new festivity. Ice skating and ice fishing are popular and cross-country skiers take to the trails used for hiking in the summer. Sledding is another exciting snow activity and snowmobiling is also permitted but only on frozen lake water, not in the park.
