Welcome to YBC – Channel Lake/Lake Maria! Our location is nestled in the channel between the two listed lakes on the Chain O’Lakes in Antioch, IL. This is the largest collection of natural lakes in the State of Illinois! The system is composed of 15 interconnected lakes. There is over 7,000 acres of water to boat and 488 miles of shoreline to view. The lakes are very popular with boaters and fisherman and draw large crowds on weekends and holidays.

  • Parking is available right on site at the marina. Please limit your vehicles to two vehicles per boat to ensure there is adequate parking for all guests.

  • Popular fishing includes: Walleye, Northern Pike, Musky, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Crappies, Bluegills, Bullheads, Carp, Yellow Perch

    According to the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, “A variety of sport fish awaits anglers and angling has improved in recent years, especially for walleyes, which have been heavily stocked since 1978. Northern Pike and Muskies in the trophy class also are occasionally caught here… The area provides year-round angling, with ice fishing being very popular during the winter months.”
