Waterfall Hikes Near Schaumburg, IL
within 50 miles
From Schaumburg the list is short. Canyon Creek holds both entries, a cascade and a falls, each a 2 mile out and back at a moderate grade. The cascade route climbs about 200 feet and takes dogs. Budget more time for tollway traffic than for the trail. Go in spring while small Illinois creeks still hold their water, because drops this size can thin to a trickle by July.
