Nippersink Lake

Fox Lake and Nippersink Lake are considered "as one" and comprise about 2,100 acres with a depth of 20'.

The lake(s) take in water from Petite Lake at the northwest corner of Fox Lake, Grass Lake on the north side and a smaller inlet from Squaw Creek on the south side. Nippersink drains into Pistakee Lake on its south side.

Walleyes are predominate in the spring and fall with Channel Catfish providing consistent action throughout the season. The lake is known for its Yellow Bass and Carp as well as a Largemouth Bass population.

Other lakes in the NE Illinois' Chain O' Lakes system are Bluff Lake, Channel Lake, Petite Lake, Lake Catherine, Lake Marie and Redhead Lake.

The lake is located about 20 miles inland from Lake Michigan and 50 miles north of Chicago.

Nearby Chain O' Lakes State Park provides a vast array of recreational opportunities including horseback riding as well as hiking trails galore!
