Chain O’ Lakes State Park Riding Stable offers a refreshing retreat into the beautiful rolling hills of northern Illinois, just a stone’s throw from the Illinois-Wisconsin border. This area is only a hour’s drive from Chicago and Milwaukee, yet it allows you to enjoy the outdoors in a whole new way, from the back of a horse! In addition there are plenty of hiking trails, picnic areas, camp sites and more. So whether it’s a weekend getaway or a one day retreat, come out with family and friends for an opportunity to reconnect with each other and nature.
