MCCD sites offer variety of summer outdoor activities By KurtBegalka RINGWOOD - An estimated 102,450 people attended McHenry County Con­ servation District (MCCD) sites in the 12-month period ending in March 1984. MCCD Interpretive Naturalist John Shiel points out the district owns 23 sites encompassing more than 3,800 acres, yet people in the county are just beginn­ ing to utilize the parks. "People don't know about the sites to a large extent," he said. ^ The MCCD is divided into four regions. The sites are open from 8 a.m. to sunset year-round. Permits are re­ quired for camping, which is restricted to no more than five consecutive nights. Questions about the MCCD sites should be directed to the district office at 6512 Harts Road, Ringwood, at 338- 1405 or 679-4431. Here is a roundup of the MCCD sites. GLACIAL PARK NIPPERSINK TRAIL CREEK This 630-acre site contains the five- mile Nippersink Trail which links with the equestrian and snowmobile trail systems of the county. There is a warm­ ing house. The trail head is located at Keystone and Barnard Mill roads. Free brochures containing maps are available there. There are three miles of in-park trails, including the three-quarter-mile Coyote Loop. It is well-marked and suited for easy walking. In the winters it is used for cross country skiing. Glacial Park is the site of the district headquarters. It is a glacial area in- terpersed with kames -- short ridges of stratified sand and gravel deposited by a retreating glacier. Shiel says it is an ideal place for nature study or for just getting away. Restrooms, drinking water and shelters are provided, as are a limited number of picnic tables and grills. LYLE C.THOMAS MEMORIAL PARK AND LANDING This 13-acre site results from an in­ tergovernmental agreement between Spring Grove and MCCD. It is used primarily for launching or removing canoes from Nippersink Creek. Plan on carrying your canoe the last 75 feet to shore. Ken Fiske, MCCD executive director, recommends the park as a good place for fishing. Walleyes and crappies are big in the spring. Bass, channel catfish and bullheads bite in the summer, with northern and bass moving in as the temperatures drop in the fall. ' There is no camping or drinking water. There are restrooms and a playground. There are also a limited number of grills and picnic tables. NIPPERSINK CANOE BASE The Nippersink Canoe Base consists of 140 acres located at the junction of the Nippersink Creek with the Fox River. No permit is needed for canoeing. Canoeists can continue beyond this point down the Fox River, but should leave at Hickory Grove since it is the southernmost landing owned by the MCCD on the river. / Fishing and picknicking facilities are provided, but there is no overnight cam­ ping. Restroom facilities and drinking water are available. HARRISON-BENWELL Two miles of nature trails thread their way through this 75-acre parcel, open for cross country skiing and for hiking ipitke summer. There is a large, mowed open area for team sports. The park has outhouses and water. Picnic areas and six camping sites also are available. Shell says camping re­ quests should be made one and one-half to two weeks in advance, if possible. A wheelchair-accessible bridge crosses the creek separating the parking and picnic areas from the wooded trails and campsites. BURROW'S WOODS . This 407-acre site southeast of Har­ vard is ideal for camping. A special group camping area can hold up to 150 people; in addition, there are 10 smaller sites. There are plenty of grills and picnic tables, and water and outhouse facilities are available. Three miles of interpretive nature trails can be used for hiking or cross country skiing. A 3-acre pond attracts migratory waterfowl and is stocked with bass, bluegills and channel catfish. It is the only MCCD park where ice fishing is allowed in the winter. The park also features an open area for group games. MARENGO RIDGE Twenty of Marengo Ridge's 230 acres are planted with evergreen trees not common to the area. It has extensive glacial formations and three and one- half miles of interpretive nature trails, including the Kelly-Hertel trail used in the winter for cross country skiing. Thomas Woods provides excellent bir- ding along with recreational camping. Marengo Ridge is the only MCCD rite with provisions for recreational vehicles. There are 17 sites plus another dozen smaller, individual campsites. Picnic tables, grills, water and outhouse facilities are available. There is also a large, open mowed area for group or team games. HICKORY GROVE MCCD also has made provisions for game activities at the Hickory Grove site. There are nature and riding trails and extensive picnic facilities. There also are provisions at the site for team ac­ tivities. Camping is not permitted, although the site has water and toilet faculties. About 350 of Its 800 acres are an Il­ linois Nature Preserve and off limits to the public without MCCD approval. An educational program entitled "The Living Land" is operated on the district property. The owners of this old- fashioned farm treat groups to a taste of what it is like to live off the land. The program is arranged by appointment only, year-round. (Please turn to Page 116)
