    We went for the festival of the sugar maples. The tour was so informative and they presented it in a timeline that took you from early settlers to current methods. The final stop is with a guide who talks about the maple syrup process and shows the equipment they use. The last part of the tour is a tasting of maple syrup that they made right there at the park. It wasn't like any other maple syrup. It was delicious and complex and had slightly grassy flavor. It was a lot of fun.

    We really enjoyed the walkies over there, they have poop bags at the entrance same as trash cans, so you’ll have to carry the poop until the end. Dogs enjoyed a walk into the woods.

    A wonderful area for volunteering with the McHenry County Conservation District. They have a wonderful, dedicated "guide" who knows the area very well. Beautiful conservation area surrounded by trees. The McHenry County Conservation District has worked hard to support the native ecosystem in McHenry County and Coral Woods is a perfect example of their efforts. While the hiking and nature trails are not paved, they are well kept and wide in most places. There are lots of birds for those who enjoy birdwatching. The trees keep most areas shaded so you're not baking in the sun the entire time. Plenty of free parking available.

    Great trail, always clean. Love there is a police officer there often makes me feel safe when I go hiking with my kids. We went to the maple which was fantastic learning for our kids and adults!

    We went in July of 23 and went on one of the more difficult hiking trails all of them seemed to loop back into each which made it nice we went with scouts so there was that we were all following each other there were also a lot of geocaches in the area that we found three of them right off the trail one downside lots of mosquitoes

    Beautiful spot for a short hike. Trails are well marked and offer a little bit of everything.

    I recently visited this conservation area, located within a subdivision which may seem unusual for outsiders. Nevertheless, this hidden gem is one of my favorite spots in the area. The serene environment, good biking and hiking trails, and dog-friendly policy make it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The well-marked trails are meticulously maintained, and the loops are ideal for short hikes. Additionally, the maple festival held here is informative and worth attending. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful conservation area!
