Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hi everyone,

Me and my gf are planning a camping and hiking trip and we will be moving back to Illinois. I havent been camping much really ever so I dont know of any good areas around the chicagoland area. We do plan on bringing Nike and she will be around 4.5 months when we go. Where have you camped in this area and how was it?

I cant wait to hear all of your suggestions.

Thanks!!

90 minutes from the city takes you to several parks along the Illinois River, including Starved Rock. Lots of canyons to explore along the river. A couple hours takes you northwest of Milwaukee to Kettle Moraine State Park and the Ice Age Trail. Very hilly and a nice break from the otherwise flat trails we have around here. 5 hours south is Shawnee National Forest at the southern end of the state. 4 hours into lower Michigan and you have Manistee National Forest and the North Country Trail. 6 to7 hours north into Wisconsin gives you Nicolet National Forest.

Enjoy!

If you want to go south, there are some good places in central IL and IN as well. I used to go camping and hiking in Fox Ridge State Park, which is near Charleston and about 4 hours from downtown. Lake Shelbyville is another good area and is sort of in between Charleston and Decatur. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, Turkey Run in Indiana is pretty awesome as well. I'd say that's maybe 5 hours from downtown, north of Terre Haute. We used to go there from time to time with scouts when I was a kid. Good luck!

"Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been."  -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"

starved rock is an awesome place to go hiking! it's more towards central IL probably around 2-3 hours from the chicago area. there's trails but there's also tons of canyons so depending on your experience you can definitely get a good hike in. it's also dog friendly! there's camp grounds there too but also hotels in the area so you can stay wherever you want.
