Highview Park, Hawthorn Woods, IL

Highview Park in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, centers around a 40-acre lake that supports fishing and non-motorized boating. A 1.3-mile paved trail loops the shoreline and connects to the village’s larger network of paths, including routes that reach Hawthorn Woods Country Club and the 275-acre Highview Park Conservation Area. Picnic shelters, playground equipment, and a sand-volleyball court sit near the main parking lot, while the park’s open fields accommodate seasonal soccer and baseball programs run by the Lake Zurich District. Tree-lined sections of the trail provide shade in summer, and the water draws migratory birds visible from several observation points. The park lies less than two miles from both Route 22 and the Route 12 corridor, placing grocery stores, restaurants, and Metra stations in Lake Zurich and Barrington within a short drive.
