Spillway Picnic Shelters (Shelbyville)

This day use area sits just below the Lake Shelbyville Dam on the southern end of Lake Shelbyville in the heart of central Illinois. This facility is a popular location for fishing, picnicking, and walking trails. This area is a prime location for shoreline and kayak fishing, and features a fish cleaning station and handicap accessible fishing pier. Some of the local fish in the lake are catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, muskie, walleye, white bass, and bluegill. The General Dacey Trail is located in the area and is a multi-use biking and walking trail which extends through the south end of the lake, spillway, the dam, and into the city park.
