Visit Lake County is your official tourism bureau for Lake County, Illinois. It's the most wonderful time of year in Lake County! Explore the land of lakes during one of its marquee seasons. From outdoors for hiking and scenic views, ice fishing, a winter season's snowfall, to pampering your tastebuds with a craft brew, special wine or cocktail, and cozy setting on the Lake County Libation Trail™. Enjoy the warmth (and great finds!) of indoor shopping at Gurnee Mills or Hawthorn Mall, with tons of dining and entertainment. Plan on discovery throughout Lake County, with great museums, including the Bess Bower Dunn Museum of Lake County. #LetsGoLakeCounty

As much as we love the summertime when the weather is fine, we must bid farewell to the season for a few moons and make way for Lake County's fall fab five. From beautiful foliage in the forest preserves, to corn mazes to pumpkin patches and more, Lake County is the place to be. It's Autumn "For the Win"
