McHenry County, Illinois

Nothing against urban environments, but a more suburban area is a welcome change of pace for those who seek an active lifestyle. McHenry County, Illinois offers it all; from galleries to ski jumps and county roads to I-90, this county pleases both city mouse and country mouse.

Approximately 50 miles northwest of Chicago, McHenry County is considered part of the Chicago metro area. The population is just over 300,000, an increase of almost 20 percent within the last decade; that makes McHenry the sixth-largest county, in terms of population, in Illinois. Considered a center for agriculture and recreation, McHenry has lately undergone some suburbanization.

Yet there’s so much room to roam. The county’s 30-plus communities offer year-round recreational activities such as hiking and biking over 20,000 acres of conservation land including the spectacular Glacial Park, Moraine Hills and Chain O’ Lakes State Parks; and there’s canoeing and kayaking on the Fox River, as well.

McHenry County also offers quaint yet vibrant downtown districts full of history, with their main streets offering specialty shopping in a wealth of antique shops.
