  We canoed from Yorkville to Silver Springs State Park last week. We had a lovely paddle along the Fox River and then enjoyed a nice picnic lunch at Silver Springs. They have a nice hiking trail along the river and other trails through the woods. We visit this part often and always enjoy nature there.

  Great hiking trails. We love it and the dogs love it. The path is not overly groomed, it's hilly in parts, and the scenery changes throughout the trail. Not too crowded.

  This park is a great place to visit nature. The fishing is good if you know how to fish. The park gets alot of pressure, so the fish are very picky. As with most state run parks, under staffing and general disconcert for our natural resources as compared to other states, shines through. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice place to short hike or pick nick, but compared to other parks, its kinda lame.

  We visit Silver Springs State Park every chance we get, in every season - it is incredibly awesome, clean and idyllic. There are several parking lots from which to choose your starting point for some fantastic hikes and exploration of this well-kept natural beauty. Camping is no longer permitted at Silver Springs Park, so in summer we always make advance arrangements to camp or reserve a bunkhouse at the Hoover Preserve, 400 acres literally just up the road from Silver Springs. Silver Springs and surrounding forests are awesome. It is especially refreshing to know that there is NO salt/frac mining taking place in this area, so no worries about inhaling or ingesting any polluted air or dangerous particles during your hikes and visits here... Don't miss it!

  Beautiful scenery, nice lake, great trails. Nice place to drive or walk through. Great place to visit in fall when the colors are changing.

  This place could use more parking areas but it is worth searching for them here. There is a concession stand by the lake where you can get snacks, rent a paddle or row boat, they have annual events throughout the summer months including a shuttle from a nearby location by a local bus company for people to do charity events such as the Polar Plunge to help the Special Olympics. Have a great sledding hill in the winter, when there is snow! They have hunting and fishing days in the summer, once a year where the entire place just booms with adventure and fun things for the whole family. There are quiet picnic areas, horseback riding areas but you have to bring your own horse. Its really a great place to just feel a million miles out into the wilderness while not far from civilization at all!

  Don't overlook this local gem. Enjoy nature or cast a line in the parks lake or the adjacent Fox River. Don't forget your picnic lunch but if you do refreshments are available.

  My husband and I went here in the fall and colors were amazing! I love taking pictures and some of my favorite photos were at this park! You can rent paddle boats and fish on two lakes. Has nice trails through the woods. I look forward to going back and maybe taking my dogs this time. They also have camping sites here too!
