Public Ice fishing spots near Rockford...where are they

Other than Pierce & Olson Lakes, where are some decent public ice fishing spots near/in Rockford, IL? It seems that there are a ton of private ponds, but not too many public spots. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Geneva, Delavan, and the Fox chain are all within a reasonable drive of you.

Shabbona it's a bit south east. Le-aqua-na is a bit west. Rochelle has a little man made lake, too.

Lake Sule here in Rochelle not a bad lake, but usually pretty windy so bring ice anchors.If you ever make it down give me a shout and I can show you around the lake.

Thanks guys......all of these mentioned I have either heard of or tried. I was hoping there was something else I have not heard of. BTW, the ponds off of Orth are not public and ice fishing is not allowed.....already checked into this one.
Thanks for the help! See you on the ice.
