Marshall State Fish and Wildlife Area, Natural conservation area in Marshall County, Illinois.
Marshall State Fish and Wildlife Area encompasses 6,000 acres of varied terrain including ravines, bluffs, bottomland lakes, islands, sloughs, and upland forest.
The state of Illinois purchased the initial land in 1925, gradually expanding the protected territory to include both terrestrial and aquatic environments.
The area maintains multiple hunting traditions through specific zones like the Duck Ranch Unit, where daily permits are allocated through morning drawings.
Visitors can access camping facilities, boat ramps, fishing spots, and a 3.5-mile trail system through the main entrance at 236 Illinois Route 26 in Lacon.
The protected area contains hardwood forests of oak, hickory, and walnut trees alongside wetlands that support great blue herons and bald eagles.
