This loop hike travels over diverse terrain and through multiple types of vegetation as it leads around the scenic man-made Shabbona Lake. As the trail passes through wetlands, dense woodlands, open prairies, and next to the shoreline of the lake, hikers will enjoy viewing a wide variety of plantlife and birdlife that exists within the park. Sections of the park are closed in October due to hunting so verify trail access before setting out. There are other side and spur trails that can be added to explore more of the park. The state park also offers camping, picnicing, fishing, boat rentals, and a store making it a nice place to visit for a full day or more.
