About Beaver Dam State Park

750 acres of land make up this park, managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as a public fishing area. That focus on fishing is the stated purpose behind the site's designation, shaping the kind of visit someone can expect here rather than trails or historic features.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
