Moving the Gateway to the Wisconsin Northwoods

McHenry County is a region of stunning natural beauty and historic charm, serving as the bridge between suburban Chicago and the rolling farmlands of the north. From the iconic Woodstock Square (famous for filming Groundhog Day) to the boating paradise of the Chain O’Lakes, this area offers a lifestyle defined by recreation and community. Whether you are moving to a lakefront home in Fox Lake, a historic Victorian in Crystal Lake, or a new construction property in the booming Huntley area, you need a mover who understands the diverse terrain of this unique county.

 

When looking for McHenry County movers, look no further than Hollander Storage and Moving for expert knowledge and friendly support.

Tips for Moving in McHenry County

Watch the River Traffic

The Fox River bridges in McHenry (Route 120) and Algonquin (Route 62) are notorious choke points, especially on summer weekends when boat traffic is high. We recommend scheduling your move start time for mid-morning to avoid the recreational traffic delays crossing the river.  

Prepare for Rural Winter Roads

Western McHenry County is largely open farmland. In the winter, roads like Route 47 and Route 23 are prone to significant snow drifts and black ice. If moving between December and March, ensure your driveway is plowed wide enough for a large truck, as drifts can make rural access difficult.  

Plan Around the Metra Schedule

The Union Pacific Northwest Line runs through the heart of the county, affecting traffic in downtown Cary, Crystal Lake, and Woodstock. Commuter traffic spikes in the morning and evening. We plan our routes to avoid getting stuck at grade crossings during rush hour, ensuring a smoother timeline for your move.

This experience was excellent. Our crew was on time, courteous, and very professional. They were clearly experienced … taking any and all measures to move our possessions carefully. Can’t say enough good things about our crew (Kyle, Supervisor; Vedale; Conner, and Turtle). Thank you for doing such a good job!
