    Getting to the McKinley Woods hang spot

    Hey Y'all,
    I actually cruised down to the Channahon state park last weekend and hiked the trail down to the McKinley woods spot I have seen mentioned in these threads. I made it to the McKinley parking area but then opted to just chill there and never actually found the camp site folks like to hang at (too tired to search, lol).

    I have a better idea of where the site is now thanks to whoever posted the GPS coordinates. I put together this little map. Have I captured the location/strategy accurately? Perhaps this will be helpful to any other noobs trying to join up in the fun.

    Map from McKinley Parking to site coordinates:
