Paddling through the chain of serene kettle lakes. This is lake county and a small boater's paradise. Nine connecting lakes will be the center of your adventures at Chain O' lakes.
One of the most interesting features at chain O' lakes is its shape, about two miles wide and four miles long. Within its boundaries are 2, 718 acres, including 212 surface acres of water and more than seven miles of varying shoreline.
The park owes much of its surface form and geologic makeup to the action of glaciers during the Ice Age (Pleistocene Epoch). The effects of the most recent major ice advance, the continental glacier of the Wisconsin Age, are evident. The steeply rolling hills, bogs, and interconnected lakes bear witness to the massive ice sheets that advanced over and then melted from this part of Midwest near the end of the Pleistocene epoch between 19,000 and 16,000 years ago. The lakes on this chain are kettle lakes formed when the glaciers were still huge blocks of ice. Rivers of water resulting from melting ice carved the channels, which connect nine of the 13 lakes in the park.
