Story

From angling to hiking, from viewing rare plants to observing migratory waterfowl, Moraine Hills State Park offers you a recreational bounty. Located in the northeast corner of Illinois, the park is 3 miles south of McHenry in McHenry County. McHenry Dam, on the Fox River, is on the park's western border. Roughly half of the park's 2,200 acres is composed of wetlands and lakes.

Such a huge park and it's lovely. I hang out here with my friend and we go on walks and just chat about life. It's so incredibly peaceful and you almost feel like you're in another world when you're here. Sometimes there can be crowds of other people and it might seem somewhat trafficy but that's to be expected and certainly the place is big enough to share. Definitely would recommend to any nature lovers or just peiple looking to enjoy the outdoors. Also fun for kids and families!

A hidden gem in McHenry County. A great place to walk, bicycle, photograph and picnic. Miles and miles of trails that are well kept and beautiful scenery with amazing wildlife. Restrooms thoughout the trails but not all have running water. Picnic tables are random, some with BBQ grills for convenience. Open all year from dawn to dusk. Dogs are allowed to be walked on leashes but you must pick up after your animal.

This park seems more structured than anything. One way signs on trails? Thats insane.

Very lovely park - nice to hike or bike. A variety of wildlife, flora and fauna, hills and valleys and water. Not too busy either. Something for everyone who loves the outdoors.

We love to ride our bikes over the family-friendly trails. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and today the prairie was bursting with wildflowers. Highly recommended for a family outing or casual hike!
