Let's Hike Glacial Park

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.
