Rend Lake - South Sandusky Recreation Area
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Rend Lake is a 18,900-acre reservoir in southern Illinois managed jointly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Illinois DNR, consistently ranked among the top crappie and largemouth bass fisheries in the Midwest. The South Sandusky Recreation Area provides boat ramp access to the southern basin where submerged timber and brush piles hold large crappie year-round. The lake also supports a thriving catfish population with trophy-sized flatheads taken regularly.
