Apple Canyon Lake is a private lake located in Jo Daviess County,
about 60 miles northwest of Rockford, Illinois. The area has rolling
hills and scenic views of the countryside. It is common to see deer,
wild turkey and bald eagles. Apple Canyon Lake was first
developed in 1969 and it is set up so you must own land to have
access to the lake. It has turned into a peaceful, resort community.
The lake has a marina that sells bait, gas and some food. There is
also a beach and a restaurant on the lake. Members also have
access to a 9 hole golf course, hiking trails, tennis courts, camping
and a clubhouse with a pool.
The main attraction is the 480 acre lake that has brought many
fishermen into this community. Apple Canyon Lake is one of the
best largemouth bass fishing lakes in the state of Illinois. With live
bait, a good bass fisherman can catch 40 to 50 bass in a day.
There are tons of bass in the 12 to 15 inch range and big bass in
the 7 to 8 pound range have been reported over the years. You
can also catch smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, crappie,
catfish, muskie and bluegill.
