The various environments sustain a diverse range of plants and fauna that can be seen along the ten-plus miles of paths. McHenry Dam State Park is located on the Fox River’s east bank, overlooking the McHenry Lock & Dam. Anglers, waterfowl, eagles, birders, and photographers all go to the river.

The first 15 acres of land for McHenry Dam State Park were purchased by the State of Illinois in 1939 on the east side of the Fox River. The purchase of the Lake Defiance area began in 1971, and park amenities were completed in the spring of 1975. Moraine Hills State Park first opened its doors in October 1976.

The park’s name comes from a natural structure known as a moraine, which is a glacier-deposited mass of rocks, stones, and other detritus. The 48-acre Lake Defiance, at the park’s center, is one of Illinois’ few glacial lakes that has remained entirely untouched, preserving a near-natural state.

Moraine Hills’ lakes and marshes are home to a diverse range of fauna, with more than 200 bird species identified. Both Lake Defiance and the Fox River offer fishing opportunities. The Fox River may be accessed from the McHenry Dam location, which also has a fishing pier that is accessible to persons with disabilities.

Moraine Hills is known for its more than 10 miles of trails, which are popular with hikers, skiers, and bikers, and are one of the park’s main recreational assets. Refreshments, bait and tackle, and boat rentals for both the Fox River and Lake Defiance are available at the McHenry Dam concession stand. ​

The hours of operation in the park vary according to the season.

  • – Only day visitors are permitted at Moraine Hills State Park and McHenry Dam State Park.
  • – The hours of operation of the parks are displayed when you enter them.
  • – Always plan to return to your vehicle 15 minutes before nightfall.

Testimonials From Our Satisfied Customers

Amy Duhig Founder & CEO of XpeedStudio

We started off not knowing what we wanted, but knew we needed a new kitchen and flooring for most of our first floor, which was overwhelming to us. We worked with Liz to help us design what we wanted. She was fabulous and patient with us. Timelines were met and the crew who worked with us ended up feeling like part of the family. When faced with some pretty big “snags,” which were of no fault of Waldron Construction, Joe was professional, pushed to make things right, and kept his word; The team went above and beyond and did excellent work.

Nancy Leah Founder & CEO of XpeedStudio

Such a great team of professionals. We had our kitchen remodeled and Waldron Construction was very helpful and thorough. A little future advice for anyone considering a major remodel is to expect delays and the need to make changes due to supply availability or unforeseen issues. Joe Waldron treats you with great respect and is very driven to make sure you are very satisfied and happy with your remodel. Some may feel the expense is too high…but you do get what you pay for. Thank you for a very beautiful kitchen, Nancy and Gary

Joan Peart Founder & CEO of XpeedStudio

We just completed our dream kitchen remodel with Waldron Construction. We are extremely pleased with the results. Angie helped us through the design and was always a text/phone call away. The trades were excellent and were great to work with. Of course there were hiccups in the process but nothing that couldn’t be worked out. Having the schedule in front of us daily through builder trend was great too. Joe was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. We would recommend Waldron for your next home improvement project..
