It is approximately 30 miles from the O’Hare International Airport in Central Chicago.

It has a maximum depth of 12 feet and holds populations of bluegill, largemouth bass, white crappie, and yellow perch.

The Fox River is another fishing attraction in the area. Public access points are located on either side of Burton’s Bridge.
