Lake Zurich, Wauconda, Spring Grove and Volo Beaches
Did you know that Lake County is home to Illinois’ largest concentration of natural lakes? Located in its heart is Chain o’ Lakes State Park in Spring Grove. I’ve lived in Lake County for many years and didn’t know all that it had to offer! The park is bordered by three natural lakes – Nippersink, Grass and Marie along with the Fox River. You can camp, fish, boat and hike among the 6000 acres of the park. My son, Michael, was excited to hear about the park and plans to take his wife, Alissa, there next week. I’ll ask them if I can share some pictures here.
Another fun Lake County beach is Fish Lake Beach in Volo. Spend the day swimming, picnicking, and fishing. There’s also mini golf and an arcade. It’s a great way to spend a sunny summer day. If you’d like to stay longer, there’s a campground.
If you’d like to stay a little farther south in Lake County, there are the beaches of Lake Zurich and Bangs Lake. I’ve written about these before but they’re worth another mention! Friends and family have enjoyed many a summer day at these beaches. No matter where you live in Lake County, if you’re looking for fun things to do during August, visit one of the Lake County beaches! If you have a favorite Lake County beach, I’d love to hear about it!
