Mermet Lake located in Southern IL is a great place to take your family for fishing and fun. If you are ever in the Metropolis/Vienna, IL area this would be a great place to go. There is an Archery Range, Boating, Fishing, Hunting and Hiking Trails.
The original acreage of what is now Mermet Lake SFWA was acquired by the State of Illinois in 1949 – and now totals 2,630 acres, including 690 acres of water.https://www.dnr.illinois.gov/parks/pages/mermetlake.aspx
