Snakeden Hollow State Fish and Wildlife Area
Snakeden Hollow State Fish and Wildlife Area, Wildlife management area in Knox County, Illinois
The 2,500-acre territory contains 125 water bodies totaling 400 acres, including the 160-acre Snakeden Hollow Lake and multiple smaller impoundments.
The location operated as a coal surface mining site from 1962 to 1970 before the State of Illinois acquired it from Midland Coal Company in 1987.
Local fishing activities center around catching largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, brown trout, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish in the numerous water bodies.
Visitors can access the park through Route 167 east from Victoria, with multiple peripheral parking lots and designated entry points throughout the property.
The area features 2,100 acres of grassland, brushy draws, briers, shrubs, and limited hardwood forest, serving as nesting grounds for giant Canada geese.
