Outing - Moraine View State Park

  • Moraine View State Park Illinois (map)

Opportunities for landscapes (fall color?), wildlife, and macro at least, plus the Howard Virgin Timber Park has an old cemetary to photograph. Since the Black Beach Locust parking lot is still fenced off, we can meet at the Honkers Island picnic shelter parking lot.  This should give us good views of sunrise reflections in the lake. 

AGENDA:

6:30am: meet in the parking lot mentioned.  Gives us enough time to set up for sunrise.

Plan on doing the Scenic Lake loop first, after the beach sunrise photos.  If time, we can do the other 3 trails as well.

7:02am:  Sunrise

10:30am: Leave and go to Howard Virgin Timber Park. 

Head for home at your leisure.
