Heron County Park is a park in Newell Township in Vermilion County, Illinois. It is located just north of Danville, Illinois on Newell Road, at the north end of Lake Vermilion where the lake's waters are very shallow. A 950-foot-long floating boardwalk allows visitors to walk through a portion of the wetland.
