Lake Bloomington is a 635-acre reservoir located approximately 15 miles north of Bloomington, easily accessible via I-39 North to the Lake Bloomington Exit, then east on Lake Bloomington Road (2500N) for 4 miles. Owned and operated by the City of Bloomington's Water Department, this fertile impoundment features a maximum depth of 36 feet, an average depth of 14.5 feet, and 18.5 miles of shoreline. The lake serves as a quality multi-species fishery, actively managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources through regular stocking programs and fish population surveys. The combination of diverse structure, adequate depths, and active fisheries management makes Lake Bloomington a productive destination for anglers targeting walleye, bass, crappie, and hybrid striped bass.
