Welcome to Stoney Run

Dedicated in 1973, Stoney Run is nestled in the rural setting of southeast Lake County. The 316 acres of tranquil woodlands, ponds, and open meadows lend themselves to a peaceful experience. The eight miles of hiking trails let visitors get away from it all and enjoy nature at its finest, observing first hand the interrelationship between flora and fauna in the heavily wooded oak hickory forest. Stoney Run's primarily level terrain is complemented by a ravine running through the eastern half of the park and rolling hills on the western side, providing for a great variety of wildflowers. The park is open 7 a.m. to sunset year round.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Special services on Memorial Day at 2:30 p.m. and the Saturday prior to Veterans Day at 10:30 p.m. presented by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Committee. Click here for service information and the history of the Memorial.

Trails

Self-guided hiking trail past red and black oaks, shagbark and pignut hickory. Found growing in the sunlight along the forest edge are spice bush, elderberry, grape and sumac. Spring wildflowers are abundant and deer, squirrel, rabbit and a variety of birds are often seen while hiking the interior and perimeter trails. Approximately 8 miles of trails meander through the park. Riders, providing their own horses, will enjoy the remote areas of the park.
