    Shabbona Lake State Park

    Open year round, Shabbona Lake State Park is a dog-friendly natural attraction located in Shabbona, IL. The very best activity for Fido is accompanying you on a scenic hike along 8 miles of trail throughout the park. Shabbona Lake contains a 15 acre seasonal nesting area for migratory waterfowl, and hunting also takes place seasonally, so Fido must be kept on a leash and under control at all times. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the view from one of three picnic shelters; Shabbona Grove, Three Fires, or The Somonauk Point. The man-made fishing lake is 318 acres and stocked with many species of fish such as smallmouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and walleye. Fido can be beside you when fishing from shore, but must be leashed. Swimming and wading is strictly prohibited at Shabbona Lake, and this also applies to Fido. Visit Website
