Such a beautiful relaxing are. Very well kept, very clean & areas for hikers of all types. Birds & wildlife of all types for your viewing pleasure! Relics of times gone bye, don't know their history but it allows the mind to wander . Picnic areas abound & many areas with benches for resting. Beautiful tranquil water areas. As always watch where you walk, some areas are softer than others! You will not be disappointed....a weekend hike must !!
The new photos show significant damage from a four wheeler crushing and digging out the fragile wetlands. As I have posted before, this is one of the worst managed parks I have ever visited.
Very disappointed. It appears this has become an off leash park this year. A few years back my senior dog was attacked here by an off leash lab, and things haven’t changed at all. When did this become the off leash swimming hole for dogs?
And what happened to all the brush around the trails? The main trail around the lake is a huge eyesore now. Bad job, MCC.
One of the best hikes I've done in the area. Really good trail system with variety and decent elevation in places. Will definitely be back!
A very interesting range of habitats not typical of the rest of Illinois. Very serene and great views.
Visitors can trek on over six miles of
looped nature trails. Favorite hikes include the
one-mile trail around Lake Atwood or the 1.3-mile
hiking trail that meanders through woodlands
and along the picnic grove. During the winter
when there is four inches of snow, two miles of
trails are groomed for cross-country skiing.
Picnicking Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic at
a picnic table or for a larger gathering, reserve a
picnic grove or shelter.
For Camping Pitch a tent, gather around a campfire,
and enjoy the starry skies. The campgrounds can
accommodate both single families or larger groups
(from 1 to 100 people per night). Access to fishing
and a variety of hiking trails make this a popular
camping destination. The campground is open
April 1 to December 1 and can be reserved daily for
up to a three-night stay. Reservations and payment
must be made online at least one week in advance.
This is a 5-Star conservation area. It Is Well Kept and respected by the visitors. Fishing is great here, kayaking and beautiful trails. The conservation police are great and enforce regulations here daily. Hours are Sunrise To sunset and if you don't follow the hours, you will get ticketed when leaving. I learned this the hard way. (as you can see by the night time photo I added)
PACK IT IN - PACK IT OUT!
Unexpected natural area and lake. Great for a picnic and a walk! Seems they have campsites available as well.

We found this park while looking for a nice view to park and eat lunch. The view is pretty, there's a giant dog park, community garden, and clean bathrooms. Then we decided to go for a walk around the trails and it is GORGEOUS! The walk was longer th

Great new aquatic park. Finished in 2022, this is a big improvement to what Cary had prior to this. Easy to get to location. A lot of seating and shade is offered here. Private parties available with a party room.
