While the area is perhaps best know for its lakes, the large amount of land that has been retained for outdoor recreational activities also draws vacationers. One of these areas is the Chain O’ Lakes State Park which is bordered by Wilmot Road and Highway 173 between Antioch and Richmond. In 1946 the State of Illinois purchased 840 acres of undeveloped land to form the Chain O’ Lakes State Park. The land was adjacent to the original Chain O’ Lakes Conservation Camp which became the Chain O’ Lakes Conservation Area in 1930. This land was incorporated into the state park in 1957. Further growth occurred in 1969 when the Department of Conservation purchased the Stevens Farm. The Stevens family had a history of ownership dating back to 1843 when it was received by the family under a land grant. Today the state park, which borders three lakes of the Chain O’ Lakes – Lake Marie, Nippersink Lake, Grass Lake – and the Fox River consists of 2,793 acres with an adjoining 3,230 acre conservation area. In addition there is a 44-acre lake within the park’s boundaries. This park offers a wide variety of outdoor activities. From the open lands to the canopies formed by the trees, the beauty of nature comes to the forefront during a drive along the park’s picturesque, winding roads. A favorite park activity is camping. Camping at Chain O’ Lakes can be as rustic or as high-end as one wishes. The park provides a Class A campground with 150 sites. This area includes flush toilets, electricity and shower facilities. For the more adventurous there are 3 Class B campgrounds with an additional 87 sites, which have fewer amenities. The park also offers Rent a Camp units which provide a tent or cabin and the basics to get novice campers through their first experience. Even for those who are not interested in sleeping in the park, there are many daytime activities. Bring a boat and launch it here to enjoy a ride down the Fox River or into the Chain O’ Lakes. There is no charge to use the boat launch but for those planning to enter the

lakes in the Chain, the Fox Waterway Management Agency charges a user fee. Stickers are available for purchase at the park concession near the boat launch. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent in Catfish Cove adjacent to the concession stand. There are four trails for walking, hiking, or bicycling. Each is less than two miles in length. The trails are lined with a variety of trees including oak, hickory, cherry, birch, sumac and spruce. While bicycle riding is allowed on the trail, riders are cautioned to be wary of hikers. Visitors will also likely encounter wildlife, from nesting birds in the native prairies to a variety of woodland animals including deer, rabbits, ground squirrels, chipmunks, mink. More than 200 species of birds have been identified in the park. Visitors are invited to pick up a checklist in the office to tally how many can be discovered. The park offers seven picnic areas, which are set off the road. They are complete with
