Join the GO Gurnee Walking Club at Volo Bog (28478 Brandenburg Road, Ingleside)!
Directions/Walk Details: We’ll start on the floating half-mile trail out to the actual bog and then we’ll be taking the 2.5-mile trail that circumvents the property. Half is crushed stone and half is hard packed grass (with a very small section of floating walkway). It is quite hilly and as a matter of fact, the preserve calls this “moderately” difficult. Both trails combined are 3.4 miles total. Pets allowed but not encouraged with an uneven floating bridge and sensitive plants in the area. Outhouse by the parking lot.
