What to expect: Marengo Ridge is one of McHenry’s popular and treasured areas, encompassing 818 acres of oak and hickory woodlands interspersed with spruce, aspen, ash and sumac groves. We will explore through the majestic oak woodlands and cross several small bridges that cover ephemeral streams that flow into the Kishwaukee River. We will be keeping our eye out for the early spring ephemerals of bloodroot. Spring rains often bring muddy trails. Please be prepared with waterproof boots.
During the hike, there will be a 15-minute part of the trail that is a silent walk, so that each person can more fully appreciate the sounds of nature.
