May 27, 2021— Mountain bike enthusiasts will soon have access to the first bicycle trails designated in the Shawnee National Forest. Approximately 19 miles between Lake Glendale Recreation Area and Dixon Springs State Park will now be open with a dual designation for mountain bike use as well as hiking. The trail designation took years of planning and analysis with both the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service working cooperatively through each of their individual agency’s planning processes. “For the Shawnee National Forest, this project represents the first set of trails designated for mountain bikes,” said Laura Lecher, Recreation, Trails, Engineering and Heritage Staff Officer, Shawnee National Forest. “Designating the system for bicycles will allow our agency to properly maintain the trail system for such use and reconstruct the trail to protect natural and cultural resources.” The trail system consists of sixteen miles on the Shawnee National Forest and three miles in the Dixon Springs State Park. The system includes the popular Lake Trail around Lake Glendale whose designation has been changed from hiker-only to hiker/bicycle use. Plans are being made for improving trail access points and trail system directional signage. Currently mountain bike enthusiasts can access the trail system in Lake Glendale Recreation Area at Cardinal Bay Boat Launch and Pine Point Picnic Area and at trailheads in Dixon Spring State Park.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois
    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

  • IDNR Sets Health and Safety Procedures for Deer Hunting at State Sites
    Illinois Department of Natural Resources JB Pritzker, Governor One Natural Resources Way ∙ Springfield, Illinois 62702-1271 Colleen Callahan, Director www.dnr.illinois.gov FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rachel Torbert October 20, 2020 OFFICE: 217-785-3953 CELL: 217-685-1163 [email protected] IDNR Sets Health and Safety Procedures for Deer Hunting at State Sites SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) today announced changes to 2020- 2021 deer hunting procedures at state sites. The changes, health and safety protocols implemented in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, will provide greater protection to both the hunting public and site staff during the season. Hunters should follow all public health guidelines issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health, including wearing masks when social distancing cannot be achieved and refraining from congregating in parking lot areas. Through responsible actions, hunters can help ensure that site hunting programs continue to offer Illinoisans healthy outdoor recreation opportunities. The following changes in regulations will apply to IDNR sites participating in the deer hunting program: 1. No standby deer hunting will occur on state sites for the 2020-2021 hunting seasons. Deer hunting during the Firearm, Muzzleloading Rifle, CWD, and Late Winter Deer Seasons on state sites where special permits are issued through the regular statewide drawing will be limited to those persons already in possession of a site permit at the beginning of the season. In the past, standby drawings were held to fill unmet quotas or allow additional hunters to go afield once others had harvested deer. These drawings often resulted in crowded conditions at site offices.
