The Reserve is an 888 acre tract of land located in St. Clair County, IL, less than one hour from downtown St. Louis.
Formerly a strip mine, the ground was reclaimed and plans were made for a development called The Islands of Waterside.
The development was to contain amenities such as a community recreation and fitness center, Olympic size swimming pool, marina, retail center, restaurants, bicycle paths, and the list goes on. The highlight of the development was the 320 acres of recreational waterways that are crystal clear strip pits and full of trophy largemouth bass. The grading and reclamation was completed, and the land was prepared for the development. The project was cancelled and the land has been in this state since 2008.
