Spring Creek Reservoir Forest Preserve

About Spring Creek Reservoir Forest Preserve

Spring Creek Reservoir has an oak savanna, meadows and an immature woodland surrounding the reservoir. The preserve is home to a variety of plants and wildlife. Spring Creek Reservoir has several picnic tables and grassy areas where you can spread a blanket. You can fish for bass, catfish, bluegill and sunfish at the 17-acre reservoir, which is 15 feet deep on average but can reach 55 feet during floods, when it stores stormwater from Springbrook Creek.
