Reviews of Volo Bog State Natural Area
"Quite a fascinating little state park with a fascinating variety of habitats. The floating pathways are fun to walk on and they make you feel like you're really immersing yourself into the swamp and bog."
"A loop of a little over 4 miles. Some parts are grass, some gravel, some sun and some shade. If you hike the interpretive trail, that will be on a floating boardwalk through the marsh. It was very cool. There is a lot to see here. There is an observation deck, a "chipmunk" play area, a nature center and lots of critters. There were garbage cans and benches to relax, throughout the trail."
"We followed a few easy trails around this beautiful nature preserve. I’d recommend wearing a hat in the summer as some parts of the trails were rather exposed. The views were lovely and the terrain was comparatively flat. Certainly worth a visit!"
"While here I checked out 3 trails: Deerpath Loop: Nothing to write home about. Easily skipable. Prairie Ridge: Really pretty. Pretty open so expect a bit of sun. The bug situation was extremely annoying. Overall, worth a walk. Bog Trail: Already cannot wait to go back! A must walk! Beautiful views, floating walkways, and the eye of the bog was just gorgeous. There was an area on the walk, about halfway through, that was so quiet. You could feel the peace. Simply fantastic."
"Beautiful slice of untouched Illinois. A short 3 mile loop will take you through the bog and up to observation points. This is a great place to see many species of birds. I visited many times as a child that minted lasting memories."
