Heidecke Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area

More precipitation has been called for in the 7-10 day forecast, and we are confident the water levels will remain above 508’ for a significant period of time to allow watercraft access. Boaters must exercise caution while launching the boats and navigating the waterway, as shallow areas persist throughout the lake. IDNR will monitor the lake levels and will close the lake to watercraft if the level falls below 508’, after providing 24 hours' notice to the public.”

Current closures
If wind speeds are forecast to be 25 mph or above at any time during the day, Heidecke Lake access to boat fishing will be closed. Bank fishing will still be available at the Heidecke Lake Bank Fishing Area off E. Collins Rd. Wind speeds are checked daily by using the NOAA wind forecast at the Morris Muni-James R Washburn Field Airport here.
