Monee Reservoir is located in Will County, 2 miles south of Monee off Ridgeland Road and just minutes from Interstate 57.
Monee Reservoir is a dug and dammed impoundment constructed in 1916 as a water supply source for steam locomotives. Monee Reservoir was leased and managed by the Izaak Walton League from 1928 through the 1960's. Various lease holders operated the reservoir on a club basis throughout the 1970's. The property was purchased in the 1980's by the Forest Preserve District of Will County. The reservoir was drained, dredged and enlarged and opened to the public in 1992. Monee Reservoir has a maximum depth of 27.0 feet with an average depth of 9.1 feet and covers 46 surface acres. Monee Reservoir offers diverse habitats, both natural and man-made.

Great bass fishing here, still trying to figure out where the pike and cats hide though

Very solid bass fishing with some giants in here. Decent panfishing, catfish, and pike. Shore fishing is way too crowded. You cannot use your own boats or kayaks. You have to rent their below average quality boats.

Excellent largemouth fishing in Spring before weeds grow thick. Decent bluegills. Abundant crappies along weedlines. Few nothern. Try white spinners and lizards for bass. Boat rental available.
