Written By Justyna Frank

Summary:

  • A place that the glaciers “missed”!

  • The park’s relative obscurity means greater chance for solitude and silence.

  • 2.5 hours from Chicago — doable as a day trip, but overnight is better.

  • Hiking Trails.

  • 47 C-Class campsites offered on a first-come first-served basis.
