I love this place! Very quiet and relaxing. Lots of wildlife and unique flora. The Boardwalk on the Hammond side is worth visiting. Speaking of, on the Indiana side of Wolf Lake, swimming is allowed but not on the Illinois side, and I'm unsure why. Even wading in the water is not permitted on the IL side (even on hot summer days). Other than that, I highly recommend visiting this southeast side gem.

I’ve driven past this for 30+ years and never stopped until now. I never understood from the highway why so many people were always out here. Wow. What a hidden gem. Great fishing, hiking, and just an overall place to relax! We will definitely stop every time we pass through from here on out!

It is a great place to go fish and spend time with family & friends on summer picnics and functions. They have multiple places to set up for many to have their celebrations and family reunions, etc... you hectic the lake that connects illinois to Indiana with fishing on both sides of the state border. My husband caught a nice size bass here a couple of weeks ago in April 2024.
