Rent a camper near Marshall State Fish & Wildlife Area, and you can enjoy some of Illinois' best outdoor scenery. This picturesque refuge is centered around the Illinois River and includes the bottomlands and bluffs that line the riverbanks. The park is close to the city of Lacon and is part of the Mallard Flyway used by migrating bird species. The bluffs are lined with hardwood trees such as oak, hickory and walnut, shrubs, and wildflowers lightly decorating the ground. The riverbanks are populated with vegetation that thrives in moist areas such as cottonwood trees as well as silver maple and willow.

The area is dotted with sloughs and lakes that were created by a substantial buildup of silt from upstream; the sediment slowly created a barrier with the Illinois river flowing through on one side and calmer water bodies existing on the other. There are also intermittent beaver dams located throughout the area, a good sign for anyone hoping to observe the local animal population. Go motorhome camping near Marshall State Fish & Wildlife Area, and this will be just one of the memories that you create during your vacation and take home with you.

Discover Marshall State Park


Getting Outdoors

The area is a good choice for enjoying wildlife observation. On the peaks, you may see white-tailed deer, rabbits, flying squirrels, and other mammal species, while down below in the bottomlands, you'll have a chance to spot deer, raccoon, mink, and other mammals. The bottomland residents usually appear around dawn and dusk, although there's always a chance of observing them during the day.

There is a boat ramp you can use to access the Illinois River, where fishing is allowed for bluegill, crappie, bullhead, and channel catfish, which are the most common catch. Largemouth bass also populate the river but are more difficult to catch and are usually reeled in by more experienced anglers. There are several picnic areas in the park; one of them has picnic tables, stoves, and shelters. A multi-use trail is open to hikers and hunters. In the winter, the trail is used for cross-country skiing and backpacking and will take you past wooded bluffs majestically crowned with fresh snow. You can ice fish on the backwater areas.

Photographers will find this an ideal setting with its dramatic diversity in the landscape; the river can change often depending on the weather, and the resident wildlife either migrate through the park or call it home. Situate yourself at ground level next to the river and the towering bluffs provide a perspective against which you can frame the bird species as they soar by.
