260± Acre Premier Waterfowl And Whitetail Hunting Tract
Reservoir Road, Lot#WP001 Harrisburg, IL 62946
Description
This 260± acre tract in Saline County, Illinois is a premier waterfowl and whitetail hunting property located in the heart of the Saline River bottoms—an area long recognized for producing quality deer and exceptional duck hunting opportunities. With a diverse landscape, abundant water resources, and extensive habitat improvements, this farm is well positioned for serious recreational use. The property features numerous water sources, including a large managed impoundment with a water control structure, several oxbow sloughs, the reservoir canal, Bankston Fork Creek, and approximately 3,700 feet of frontage along the Middle Fork Saline River. This combination creates outstanding waterfowl habitat and seasonal flexibility. The added benefit of bordering ground with no hunting pressure further enhances waterfowl use and overall wildlife security. Beyond the water features, the tract offers a diverse blend of habitat types ideal for growing and holding mature whitetails. Approximately 80± acres are enrolled in a CRP tree program, providing long-term cover and habitat structure. Extensive Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) work has been completed throughout the property, strengthening understory growth and improving bedding cover. Open areas are positioned for strategic food plot development, while softwoods and mast-producing hardwoods—including plenty of oaks—provide consistent seasonal food sources. The property adjoins a large expanse of agricultural ground, further supporting deer and waterfowl activity. An extensive trail system allows efficient access throughout the farm for hunting, habitat management, and equipment movement. With approximately 6,100 feet of road frontage, utilities available along the road, and multiple gated entry points, the property offers both accessibility and flexibility. An open area on the south end presents an ideal location for a build site or hunting base camp. Properties offering this level of water diversity, habitat management, and location within the Saline River bottom are increasingly hard to find. Whether you’re focused on waterfowl, trophy whitetails, or a combination of both, this tract presents a well-rounded and highly functional recreational investment.
