The Old Corris Family Farm, Illinois
on 31 responses
The hike back into the campsite is an old cattle path from the Corris Farm. The Corris family settled this land in 1860s and is the second oldest farm in Lake County in existence. The 100 plus year old barn is standing on the south corner of Russell Rd with a new green roof. Their cattle grazed this area and the swamps to North that border the state lines.

There is a very seclusive unique sight where you will have to hike back to camp in. It is important to plan to pack lightly for this sight and plan a 10 minute hike in. There is lots of nature, birding and old growth oaks. Fishing and kayaking are allowed on part of the property and nearby trail systems into Van Patten Woods.
