Channel: Hike360
Date: 2022-04-24

This is Hike #24 of Chicago's 60 Hikes. Once designated to be a jet fighter base, Richard Bong State Recreation Area is named after Major Richard I. Bong, a Poplar, WI native who was America’s leading air ace during World War II. The air base was abandoned three days before concrete was to be poured for a 12,500-foot runway. Local citizens had the foresight to protect this open space for future generations. See more at our website at https://www.hike360vr.com/bong-recreational-area-wi/
