Shabbona Lake
“Illinois Little Secret”

You have just found the web site for Shabbona Lake, Muskie Capitol of Illinois and Home of  4 State Record Muskie.  Shabbona Lake is also the home of 2 State Record Hybrid Crappie.  This by far makes Shabbona Lake, Illinois’ Top “Fishing Hole”, with six State Of Illinois Record Fish to it credit. 

Yet, Shabbona Lake remains a secret. Not known to many fishermen. These anglers will travel hundreds of miles to Canada, Northern Wisconsin or Minnesota in search of a “Honey Hole” of a fishing lake.  Yet, here it is in their own backyard! Shabbona Lake is located in Northern Illinois, halfway between Chicago & Rockford, just 30 miles East of Aurora.

Shabbona Lake State Park is located just 30 minutes south of DeKalb is Illinois premier fishing lake, Shabbona Lake. It is known as the Muskie Capitol of Illinois.

You too, will find out the secret that, will change your fishing life.  Save that time & money traveling hours to fish.  Just go to the best darn “Fishing Hole”  Illinois has to offer!!!  50+ inch Muskie, 10+  Pound Walleye, 2.8+ Pound Crappie, 7.85+ Pound Bass, 20+ Pound Catfish, 14+ Pound Stripers, and the list goes on.

But it is more than just a fishing lake.
Take a walk on one of the seven trails winding through woodland and prairie grass. You will forget you are even in DeKalb County!

Relax on an evening pontoon ride, slowly cruising Shabbona Lake, enjoying the wildlife as the sun sets over the Lake. Watch the deer watering at the shore's edge. Listen to wild turkeys and pheasants break the evening silence.

Stop in at Pokanoka's Café for a soft ice cream cone or a hamburger and sit on our beautiful patio taking in all of the amazing scenery.
