The Sahara Woods State Fish and Wildlife Area is a 4,100-acre state park owned and operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources . It is located in Saline County, five miles west of the small city of Harrisburg.
The fish and wildlife area is made up of former bituminous coal properties strip-mined by the Sahara Coal Company. The park currently consists of approximately 2,300 acres of open space, 1,500 acres of timber and brush, and 275 acres of lakes, ponds, and wetlands. The IDNR describes the topography of the parcel as "a former surface mine which consists of spoil ridges interspersed with timber, grasslands, small ponds and a large lake."
