CHARMING GALENA COUNTRY, ILLINOIS

From snowshoeing at Casper Bluff Land & Water Reserve in the glistening white winter to watching the Great Galena Balloon Race at the peak of high summer, this northwest Illinois playground offers a full year’s worth of adventure and enjoyment. It really is that charming! Check out the Know Before You Go page for parking and transportation details, including maps and other helpful information!
