Middle Fork SFWA

The Middle Fork River (of the Vermilion River) is the anchor for the Middle Fork SFWA which is located in eastern Illinois in central Vermilion County about 10 miles northwest of Danville. The river is the first Illinois waterway to be included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Canoeing is very popular along the river's length, which winds through a mixture of forests and prairies. Forest and upland game hunting are also popular at the 2,700-acre site. Horseback riding on 35 miles of trails is available.

Hunters have a choice of game including coyote, deer (bow, firearm or muzzleloader), dove, opossum, pheasant (cock), quail, rabbit, raccoon, squirrel and wild turkey (fall archery and regular spring hunt).
