The Lake at Independence Grove Fishing

Independence Grove, Libertyville
115 acres | max depth: 49 feet

We've transformed a sterile gravel quarry with steep sides into a rich aquatic ecosystem with gently graded slopes and underwater islands. There is good fishing here, especially for bass. Your luck will increase when you fish from a boat, available for rent at the Marina. Bait, tackle, and concessions are also for sale.

Note: Catch-and-release fishing is mandatory at this site. This program makes it recreational for anglers and beneficial for nature. Anglers are encouraged to use barbless, non-stainless steel hooks. Dogs, horses and other pets are not permitted here. A parking fee applies for nonresidents.
