The Iroquois County State Wildlife Area, nestled in a low glacial outwash plain associated with the Kankakee River Valley, encompasses a diverse landscape of marshland, sand ridges, and dunes. Originally established in 1944 to protect the declining prairie chicken population, the area has since transformed into a prominent public hunting destination, with a total of 2,480 acres under its management.

Among its notable features is the Hooper Branch Savanna, which includes 480 acres identified as the largest remaining tract of rare native savanna in Illinois. In addition to hunting, visitors can engage in nonconsumptive recreation such as hiking and nature study during designated times when the facility is closed to hunting.
