Kennekuk County Park

I have absolutely fallen in love with this park... my best friend and I went to Kennekuk County Park together to celebrate her birthday. We hiked on the trails some, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful, healthy trees, tons of birds and butterflies, frogs and toads hopping in and out of the marshes, and all of it was so peaceful! When we got to the river, we waded to a sandbar and found a variety of shells, and just relaxed listening to the river flow and the breeze through the trees. Life at home is busy busy busy with three sons that I homeschool, and not only was Kennekuk the perfect getaway for a day, I can’t wait to go back and take my kids for all of the incredible adventures we can have together, and because there’s a vast amount of science and history in this park with educational opportunities abounding! My boys are going to love, love, LOVE exploring and adventuring at Kennekuk

What an amazing park! So many great memories at this place. If you want to get out of the hectic city and away from the chaos just go to Kennekuk and forget all your trouble. If you like riding a bicycle this place is for you. Riding bikes in Kennekuk is so much fun and its a very beautiful park. Kennekuk is by far the nicest park in the city and a great place to take your kids.

Great place, Soo nice to get out in the woods and tall grass prairie. Wonderful

I was married at the little white chapel. One of my favorite places to be. Lots to do. Need to reopen the beach though. Thats my only complaint. No place to swim with all that water on a hot day.

Beautiful place to enjoy with family.

Best place to have any kind of gathering weather its a little get together or for a special event.wonderful trails to go on plus fishing and canoeing, playgrounds available and volleyball net just an overall great outside activity

Fabulous woodland preserve. Their nature center alone gets six stars - Build with wood reclaimed from trees on the location, it has classrooms lined with posters, books and props to thrill a child. The woods are pristine, from the oak hickory mix up high to the pawpaw and spice bushes in the hollows. Should there be a desire there is a white oak barn available for receptions and events, with a playground nearby.

Very nice place to go in east central Illinois. The recreated town area where they moved historic buildings and barns is really nice. The woods are great to hike in.

Large park with a lot to see and do! The Lake Mingo Trail is excellent, the Bunker Hill historical area is adorable. I love coming to Kennekuk County Park!

Cool place to check out

Does anyone know how much a night it is here to go camping with a tent!?

The Great Park for being a county run facility. Some of the best trail running trails in the area. Good place to spend the weekend.
