Evergreen Lake in Hudson offers excellent access for paddlers and boaters via two dual-lane launch ramps that accommodate multiple vessels simultaneously. The 925-acre lake is one of Central Illinois's most popular destinations for canoeing, kayaking, and sailboarding, making it ideal for recreational paddling of varying skill levels. The site is conveniently located just off I-39 North via the Lake Bloomington/Evergreen Lake Exit, then west on Lake Bloomington Road (2500N).
The facility provides comprehensive amenities for a full day on the water, including boat rentals, a bait and tackle shop, fuel, and marine supplies. On-site services also include boat maintenance and repair, as well as bilge and sewage pumping stations. The area offers camping and RV hookup options for those planning extended visits, along with nearby lodging and dining.
Evergreen Lake supports diverse fishing opportunities with largemouth bass, muskie, saugeye, bluegill, crappie, and sunfish, though paddlers can simply enjoy the scenic 925-acre expanse. The interactive depth map and printable lake maps are available online to help plan your trip and navigate the water safely.
