Fishing & Hunting

A Rough and Ready Playground

Pekin lakes and streams have been known to produce some big, trophy-winning fish! Drop a line in any of them and you’ll find that there is no shortage of bass, catfish, crappie, bluegill, and muskie around here. Hunters are also in luck! Our terrain is home to trophy-sized bucks, waterfowl, turkey, pheasant, rabbits, and more. Plan a weekend, come test your skills, and take in the amazing views the great outdoors in the heart of Illinois offers. We’ve got campgrounds and hiking trails you can explore — relax and enjoy!
