  • 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.

  • Illinois Coastal Management Program 2011
    Illinois Coastal Management Program 2011 This Issue Paper contains opinions that may or may not be the policy of the IDNR. Illinois Coastal Management Program Issue Paper Illinois Beach State Park and North Point Marina Including the Dead River and Kellogg Creek Watersheds Introduction Illinois Beach State Park and North Point Marina are state-owned coastal areas managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). They are located on the far northern segment of the Illinois coast bordering the municipalities of Winthrop Harbor, Zion, Beach Park and Waukegan (Figure 1). North Point Marina is a full-service 1500-slip marina making it the largest marina along the Illinois coast and the largest in the Great Lakes. Illinois Beach State Park is consistently the most visited state park in Illinois, hosting more than two million visitors annually. This 3,070 acre state park, divided into North and South Units, preserves the last remaining shore in the state with natural coastal dunes and wetlands, a coastal flora of exceptional high quality, and a segment of shore free of any shore-protection structures. The state park and marina together comprise a recreational and natural-area resource that is without comparison along the Illinois shore. The state park and marina are located within a coastal setting stressed by natural processes such as beach and nearshore erosion, invasive species, and a variety of hydrologic issues. Within the Illinois Coastal Management Program (ICMP), the state park and marina are worthy of designation as a geographic area meriting special attention. This coastal area presents unique challenges for preserving the biological diversity, history, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities for this and future generations.
