Best National Parks Near Illinois
Though Illinois does not have any national parks of its own, there are several nearby, including Indiana Sand Dunes National Park. Located in Chesterton, Indiana, it's just a short drive from the Illinois border and an hour away from Chicago. The beautiful sand dunes create the perfect beach environment and a nice place to relax or swim. You can also explore Lake Michigan by boat or check out some of the hiking trails, including the Mount Baldy Trail and Paul H. Douglas Trail. There is also a Diana of the Dunes trail that teaches you about the park's resident ghost.
Isle Royale National Park in Michigan is another national park that you might visit. This park is on an island in the middle of Lake Superior and has a ferry that takes you to and from it. As the temperature can drop quickly, it's helpful to bring an extra jacket or wear a few layers. There are hiking trails on both the southern and northern areas of the island, including the 3.6-mile Grace Creek Overlook and the 3.8-mile Suzy's Cave Trail.
National Forests Near Illinois
Illinois landmarks that are worth a visit include Willis Tower. Known as the Sears Tower for many years, it was the world's tallest building for 15 years. Standing more than 1,700 feet tall, the tower offers rides to the top to see the breathtaking views of the city. If you're a fan of outdoor spaces, Millennium Park is a must-see. It is home to “Cloud Gate,” which is a famous sculpture of a large silver bean, and more than 24 acres of open spaces.
Chicago's Navy Pier is close to Millennium Park and has tons of shops and restaurants. One popular thing to do is ride on the Ferris wheel to see the city in a new way.
Starved Rock State Park often gets overshadowed by the larger state parks in the area but offers fun for visitors of all ages. The sandstone caverns show you what life was like for the Native Americans and are close to multiple waterfalls. This park has its own campground, too.
