Silver Springs State Fish and Wildlife Area
Silver Springs State Fish and Wildlife Area, Wildlife management area in Kendall County, United States
The 1,350-acre park features two artificial lakes, natural springs, oak forests, and prairie grasslands along the Fox River in northern Illinois.
The land was purchased by Illinois in 1969 as part of a state initiative to establish five new parks in the northern region.
The National Hunting and Fishing Day celebration occurs here every fourth weekend of September, promoting outdoor recreation and conservation education.
The park maintains seven miles of equestrian trails, fishing spots in Loon Lake and Beaver Lake, plus designated areas for hunting pheasant and deer.
A natural spring at the southern end of the park creates a pool that never freezes, even during extreme cold, and sparkles silver in sunlight.
