McHenry Recreation Area

There is striper bass. Largemouth bass. Catfish. Maybe some carp,but I havent physically seen them

Yes, with strong currents. Be careful

Yes, dogs are allowed, but they have to be current on their license

Are there still showers available?

The kiosk only takes credit/debit cards. It does not take cash. Sometimes if a ranger is here he/she will accept payment in cash.

Only in the campfire pits. The camping spots must be reserved in advance. recreation. gov

No hookups just walk in or boat in campsite if they even allow u to still camp since the pandemic

I think that offer is over now.

It is open on Sundays

$5 for day use

Depending which spot you want. There are spots that don't need res.

Yes, mostly bass

The water is pretty low right now maybe as soon as they start releasing the water from upstream it might get higher

3-6 hours. Depends how much u stop and play along the way

Nope about two minute walk

Yes 6 ft. Leach ,and pick up after them .

There are no enclosed showers. There are rinse off showers outside. The camping fee is $20, and I believe RV camping year round, depending on the river levels.

They're open until sunset

They close the entrance gates. The exit gate has spike strips so you cant come in through the exit

Yes ✅

5 dollar parking or buy a season pass for around 20 a great deal especially if you use the park a lot or even just to park for floating
