Moraine Hills State Park, McHenry

First time visit for this new Illinois resident, and I had a great time with a family member who lives in the area. Well kept trails, varied views of vegetation, several trash cans for garbage and dog waste disposal, fairly well laid out trail system, and a good amount of wildlife to have fun watching. It’s a beautiful spot. The facilities seem well maintained, and there are newly planted maple trees to draw a nice accent to the myriad of other fall colors here. Overall, I’m impressed with Moraine Hills State Park, and will be bringing my dog back again!

Starting at the Dam park takes you on a 2 mile loop with beautiful views of the Fox River and then allows you the option of going into many more miles of scenic and serene views on bike or foot
