The Agency shall be responsible for the mold remediation and re-construction of the hotel building and future repair and major/structural maintenance requirements necessary for the proper operation of the Resort facilities. Overlooking the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 19,000-acre Rend Lake Reservoir, Wayne Fitzgerrell SRA is a gateway to Southern Illinois' biggest outdoor playground - a paradise for outdoor recreation for all ages and interests. The park offers outstanding opportunities for hunting, fishing, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, hiking and other outdoor recreational pursuits. The park contains a four (4) mile bike/pedestrian trail that winds through the State Recreation Area. The park also provides ample opportunities for birders, wildlife observers and photographers, fishing tournaments, pleasure boaters, water skiers and anglers. Rend Lake is well-known as an outstanding sport fishery for white and black crappie, particularly in the early spring, as well as excellent fishing for largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill. Seasonal hunting programs attract thousands of hunters annually to Wayne Fitzgerrell, which is also a popular destination for sporting dog training field trials. The “Mission” of the Wayne Fitzgerald State Recreation Area Resort is to provide accommodations to ensure a unique, satisfying, recreational experience to current and future generations of park users, provide outstanding accommodations for weddings, family reunions, hunting & fishing trips and all types of celebrations consistent with the terms of IDNR’s lease with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Secretary of the Army. The Wayne Fitzgerrell SRA Resort has been closed since mid-December, 2016. It should be noted that this facility is offered “AS IS”.
