Lake Villa Day Hiking Meetup 2.0

The trail on the east side of the park is a

2.8-mile loop trail, that also connects to the millennium trail. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 54 min to complete.

Lakewood is Lake County's largest forest preserve.

In 1937, Malcolm Boyle, a general contractor from Chicago, made his first of many purchases here and created Lakewood Farms. He eventually built up to 1,250 acre farm.

This landscape is a mixture of oak woods, wetlands and fields. You'll also find farmlands and groves of evergreens.

Unique to Rollins Savanna is its large size, uninterrupted by roads and development, and its existing diverse natural resource features. Rich black soils found at this preserve once dominated Midwestern landscape in the 1800s. The preserve protects the south fork of Mill Creek, frontage on Third Lake, and large interior wetland complexes that provide needed food sources and rest stops for ruddy ducks, blue-winged teal, great blue herons, egrets and a variety of waterfowl species. Grassland birds, waterfowl and other wildlife are drawn to the site’s oak savannas and expansive prairies and wetlands.

Trails
A 5.6-mile gravel trail with bridges and boardwalks winds through wetlands, groves of large oaks and open prairies teeming with wildflowers and native grasses.

Hike is considered moderate.
Some downshifting required.

Glacial Park is McHenry County Conservation District’s most treasured open space holding, characterized by its rolling prairie, delta kames, oak savanna and the tranquil presence of the meandering Nippersink Creek.

Encompassing 3,432 acres, Glacial Park contains over 490 acres of dedicated nature preserve; harbors 40 state endangered and threatened plant and animal species; is listed as one of the top five areas to view migratory wetland birds in the region and is a part of the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge.

Our hike will take us between 4 and 5 miles over a variety of terrain from alongside the Nippersink Creek to the top of Camelback Kame. There will be some moderate hills.

Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash at all times.
