This area is a mix of quaint, somewhat romantic (the bridge), and active, with a small park and a handful of cool, tiny shops. It really is but a sliver of riverwalk but I'd say it should be more than enough of a short stroll for you as you end an evening.

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!
