Good park is in McHenry. It's about the only good park. Veterans Memorial Park is a nice place to…read morecome relax. Has bathrooms. Though these seem to always be locked. A fairly good amount of park for a town and there's often events. It's a popular gathering place. The last time there was even a wedding. Or at least they were just taking pictures. There's also a bandstand that's popular for concerts in summer. Fun place to hang around. It gets boring after awhile but it's still a pretty nice park. There's also festivals and things.

This is a cute little gem in McHenry. Oddly enough I'd only driven by and had seen it from…read moreRiverside Dr., but had never gone until yesterday! There is a large white gazeebo that's nice for pictures and, apparently, bands also play there. There's also a covered picnic area with several picnic tables that looks like it could seat 50-70 or so people. The playground was nice - clean, with a good number of options for both little kiddos (my nephew is 3.5 years old) to older kids and, erhm, adults. :) Nothing was broken, peeling, or an obvious hazard. There's also a brown mini-gazeebo near the park that has both a water fountain on top and a faucet towards the bottom (good to fill a dog bowl, wash dirty feet, or to just play and splash, as my nephew did).

I first visited Volo Bog in the early 90s with an environmental biology class I was taking at CLC…read more I've returned many times since then to hike the large outer ring trail. I recently returned with a group to see a presentation slide show and do a guided walk through the bog interpretive trail and had a really great time. It was the first time I'd done the guided tours or experienced the presentations. The docents and people working here are really great and you can tell they enjoy what they do here. They were very friendly and open with our group and everything was very informative. The fall colors were beautiful! I wish I'd seen a muskrat this time but the temp was chilly and they were probably all hunkered down. I did see lots of birds! If you enjoy nature you should definitely visit Volo Bog.

Got to the shop and only had a debit card, don't usually carry cash. The owner refused to let me pay with my debit card and made me go next door to the convenience store and take out $20 and pay a $3.95 fee at there ATM. The part was only $5. The owner was rude and had horrible customer service. Average rundown bike store, with minimal selection of bikes.

It gets hilly going south to Crystal Lake and north to Richmond, but it's pretty flat through all of McHenry. This is a 28-mile trail that goes from Genoa City, WI to Algonquin, IL. It also connects to other paths, including one that circles all the way around northern Illinois. It is beautifully maintained. I love that it goes through so many different towns; it makes for a lot of good scenery! I love to run through my hometown, McHenry, at sunset, because the path passes Petersen Park beach and gives you the perfect view of a beautiful sky over the water. I love that this trail exists near me!
