Directions: When in McHenry (5 min. south of WI), take River Rd. next to
the Fox River south until you see it on the left. The dam is on the right, with a
small trail leading to the park on the left.
Trail Information: Hilly, gorgeous 3.7 and 3.2 loops consisting of packed
pine needles, wood and such. The 3.7 loops around a lake in the middle. Open
in winter also. Available for cross-country skiing and mountain biking, but many
runners are on the path.
Miscellaneous: The spring is the worst time, because it is actually
dangerous with the ice melting and the trail withering. What makes it dangerous then
makes it beautiful and challenging the rest of the year. What a wonderful little run
if you are in the area or are following the Fox River. Close to Volo Bog.
