Comlara Park features 12 miles of hiking trails near Bloomington-Normal, IL.
Find Exit 8 on Interstate 39 (8 miles north of Normal).<br />Go west on the road that crosses the I-39 (Lake Bloomington Road / County Highway 8). In 2 or 3 miles you will cross the dam that holds back Evergreen Lake (about halfway to the dam you will see a wooden sign for the campground & visitor center; do not turn here, but continue on straight). A mile or so past the dam, there is a gravel parking lot on the left where the woods end and cornfield begins. This is probably the best place to begin -- there is a bulletin board with a large map, general info, and a few 8 1/2 x 11 copies of the trail map in a mailbox on the back of the display. If you prefer, you can park at either end of the dam or at the big log between the dam and the main parking lot; all of these have or will soon have a smaller display showing the trail map.
