Newton Lake Fish & Wildlife Area

By: Author Unknown

In 1979 the Illinois Department of Natural Resources
signed a 25-year lease with Central Illinois Public
Service Company which designated the 1,775 acre Newton
Lake and 540 acres of shoreline as a day use
conservation area. By agreement, recreational
activities in the area consist of fishing, picnicking,
trail use and deer hunting.

Twenty two miles of trail along the picturesque
shoreline of the lake were opened in 1980. The trail
system begins at the North Access parking lot . The
trails are opened to hiking, cross-country skiing and
equestrian use.
