The farmer must plant crops as designated by IDNR biologists. The entire property is divided into three trapping units. No one may trap at Brookville Lake without obtaining permission through sealed bid auction. Anyone interested in trapping the land and water of any of the trapping units should contact the IDNR office to determine procedures. Deadlines for bids are normally in late summer of each season.
Safety zones exist around recreation areas, residencies, offices and service areas.
These are clearly marked with white lettered red signs. The larger safety zones are marked on project brochures. Weapons are not allowed within these areas. A seasonal wildlife refuge exists north of the Quakertown Causeway. A pre-season drawing is held for the first two days of the season.
