Set against a backdrop of lush green space, Liberty Trails is designed to give residents a peaceful way of living. Nestled inside a master-planned community, Liberty Trails in McHenry offers rolling landscape, convenience, luxury, and now a fabulous path system!

Locals have been patiently awaiting the new bike path because not only does it offer an outdoor fitness opportunity, but it will tie in McHenry Middle school, Hilltop grade school to the Catholic Grade school, going through the town of McHenry. According to Northwest Herald, “Officials want to fill a gap in the regional trail network to allow access to places such as McHenry City Hall, Moraine Hills State Park and Centegra Hospital.”

Moraine Hills State Park is one of the more popular parks for bikers and hikers. There are more than 10 miles of trails for locals and visitors to enjoy. Three trails, surfaced with crushed limestone, wind their way through the park and offer exceptional scenic and wildlife viewing opportunities. The trails range in length from two miles to nearly four miles. Plus, the trails are color coated!

If you’re looking for a unique outdoor adventure, head for Volo Bog State Natural Area in Lake County. Volo Bog is the only quaking bog in Illinois and exhibits all stages of bog succession. Not only is this area included in the path system, but visitors are encouraged to bring their own grill for cooking or use one of the two picnic shelters for family enjoyment.

The path systems make our community more livable and improve the economy through tourism and civic involvement. In addition, they provide opportunities for physical activity to improve fitness and mental health.
