Lake County Parks

Ticks are a growing reality across the Midwest, including parks, trails, neighborhoods, and even your own backyard. The good news is that a few simple precautions go a long way toward reducing risk. When spending time outside and visiting your parks be sure to stick to trails, wear repellant, dress appropriately, and do a quick tick check after you’re done exploring.

Don’t let this keep you from enjoying the outdoors. Here's more information on these pesky critters from the Purdue Extension:https://extension.entm.purdue.edu/publications/E-243.pdf
