Forty acres in the northern section of the park are being developed for camp­ ing and day use by organized groups. OTHER MCCD SITES Two other MCCD areas, Indian Ridge and Coral Woods, are open for special programs. Coral Woods was a temporary cam­ pground of historic and prehistoric In­ dians. At the heart of 235 acres stand some sugar maple trees. During the second week of October, the district gives a fall color tour. In mid-March a maple syrup program is held. Other conservation district pro­ grams include star gazing, interpretive programs on flora and fauna, a family walk for toddlers and their parents, special education workshops and canoe trips.

Queen Anne Prairie and Deep Cut Marsh Wildlife Refuge are natural areas open to the public. The prairies is a one-acre pioneer cemetery.

The marsh is leased by the MCCD and the McHenry County Chapter of the Il­ linois Audubon Society. It serves as a wildlife refuge for many birds. A trail penetrates the 20 acres. STATE PARKS There are several state park sites in the region to complement the MCCD areas.
