The Izaak Walton League of America's (IWLA) St. Joseph County Chapter is one of the oldest chapters--founded in January of 1924--only two years after the founding of the league.
The St. Joseph County Izaak Walton League is comprised of over 130 acres of diverse natural habitat including Juday Creek, 3 ponds - 2 of which are stocked for fishing, the St. Joe River, wetlands, marshes and woodlands. It is an ideal family environment for hikes, picnics and exploration. We offer a world class outdoor archery range and indoor archery in the Winter months.
We promote conservation and environmental ethics and are a watchdog for local and regional conservation concerns.
