The Apple Creek Division was established in 1992. Located approximately 5 miles northwest of Carrollton in Greene County, IL, Apple Creek Division consists of 270 acres of bottomland forest, shallow wetlands, and retired agricultural fields at the confluence of Coates Creek and Apple Creek.

Roughly 105 acres of the Division are wetlands including the 30-acre Horseshoe Lake, 70 acres of seasonally flooded wetlands separated from Apple Creek by a breached levee, and 5 acres in Apple Creek and Coates Creek. Another 160 acres are upland forest and retired agricultural fields reverting to forest.

Public use opportunities on the Apple Creek Division include hunting, fishing, hiking, photography, and wildlife and bird observation.
