About Fox Ridge State Park
2,064 acres of ridged, forested land make up this park, with ownership passing to the State of Illinois sometime in the 1930s. The terrain gives the park its name, and its size places it among the larger holdings in the state park system. The land has been managed under state control for roughly nine decades, shaping its current character as a protected natural area.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
