We went here with son and his family over July 4th week. It is a nice drive from Cedar Rapids. The…read morepark is free to enter. The paths are well maintained and steps are mostly all the same size (eg not uneven sizes). We arrived about 10 and spent an enjoyable day here. We hiked the paths to the caves. The hikes were easy for all ages (5-61). I was amazed at how well everything was kept up for a free park. The caves were mostly small or had small openings, but still fun-especially for 5 and 7 year old. The biggest cave was one called the Dance Hall. It was very big. You could enter from two sides or just walk from one to the other. Hiking boots would be handy. There was only one area where we had to hunch over and it was a few feet. There were stalactites (small) and we saw many bats! There are places you have to scamper across rocks to avoid streams. The floor of cave was damp and at one point a stream ran through (hence why boots would be good), however we all did fine with sneakers. Flashlights are helpful, although there are lights that help along the way. We had a lovely picnic- there were at least 3 areas- and boys ran around and climbed in play area. There were flush toilets, but you may wish to bring some paper towels as there were only hand dryers (now known to spread germs). Also it is a bring in take out park, so make sure you have a plan to take care of your trash. Well with the trip!

Free of charge, natural entertainment. As long as you pick up trash and share the paths it should…read morealways be a wonderful experience

Located about 2.5 hrs from Chicago, Lake Carroll has it all. I don't think there's a better place…read moreto own lakefront property. The amenities are endless. The gorgeous private lake, golf course, indoor pool, snow tubing hill with a tow rope to drag you and your tube up the hill, the lodge, and equestrian center. It's year around fun no matter what your interests are. It's very small town for Chicagoans, but the friendliness and sense of community almost feels movie-like. I really love this place.

They popped up in my Google search for places near where we were. The owner was super helpful and was also mindful of making sure our last minute check in was contactless to maintain social distancing. The lake is closed right now due to Covid, but it looks lovely. The campground is clean and well maintained, plus every spot has a nice picnic table and a fire pit. We only needed a one night stop over, but it's now definitely on our list to come back to and spend more time there--especially once everything is able to open back up again. Our 8 year old was sad we had to leave! Thank you for a pleasant stay and a wonderful experience!

And I'm not saying it snobbishly but you do get the occasional group w poor etiquette and lack of respect for the game. In turn this causes some left over ball marks n poor divots which is too be expected. None the less Glynns does a magnificent job every year and I am never upset when I play there.
