    October 30, 2023

    Illinois Beach is the only remaining beach ridge shoreline left in the state of Illinois, with dunes and swales, sprawling marshes, forests of oak and vast arrays of animal life and vegetation. More than 650 species of plants have been recorded in the dunes area alone, including dozens of types of colorful wildflowers. The Nature Center is open Thursday - Sunday from 10 am - 6 pm.



    The park features stark contrasts, with fantastic oak trees, marsh land around Dead River, grassland, prairie and - of course - the mighty beach at Lake Michigan. The southern part with its 5 miles of trails is particulary recommendable for running throught the oaks and marsh land.
