Spring Grove

One of McHenry County's fastest-growing municipalities, Spring Grove draws those seeking small-town charm while still enjoying convenient access to Chicago.

Downtown Spring Grove is home to a small selection of restaurants and shops, but the town is perhaps better known and aptly named for the natural springs and groves of trees found throughout the area. There are several parks in the heart of Spring Grove, and in addition to plenty of green space, there are ball fields, fishing locations, and canoe launches. Spring Grove also offers access to Chain O'Lakes State Park, featuring hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, fishing, and an equestrian trail.

Located just south of the Wisconsin state line, Spring Grove has a variety of housing options from new construction to existing single-family homes. The landscape lends itself to sprawling plots of land that offer both privacy and natural beauty, as well as subdivisions that provide lively neighborhoods.
