(Photo) Axehead Lake--another body of water created by the building of the Tri-State Tollway

Just west of Park Ridge, Illinois is Axehead Lake, another of the lakes created in the 1950s by the construction of Interstate 294 the Tri-State Tollway. Fill was needed to build the road. Axehead is a fishing paradise twice a year--in April and October--when the state stocks the man-made lake with rainbow trout.


Axehead Lake is on the corner of River Road and Touhy--and it can be seen by drivers on the Tri-State.
