    Great place. Trails are well maintained and easily identified. We went in early winter. There were plenty of signs of wildlife but most of what we were able to see were birds. Leaves had already fallen which adds it own look to the trails. The plan is to hike again in spring or summer for a seasonal comparison. There is plenty of parking which was surprisingly well maintained. This is one of those obvious places tucked into a community that one drives by without realizing just how large it actually is. Overall a great place to hike. Will definitely be hitting the trails here again.

    Nice place to walk the dog, stretch your legs, or put in a kayak.

    I've been walking to this Forest Preserve for 35 years. I love walking through it all year round and I love riding my bike through it all year round. When everything is just right, I'll throw the kayak on the roof and go launch from there.

    The best forest preserve I've been too yet. Peaceful and serine. Small river flows along the path. Good for walking, biking, and kayaking. Check it out if ur in the area.

    Most beautiful place along the west branch Du Page river.
    Ideal for a walk/ biking and just spend some time in quiet with nature. Really very peaceful vibes in this place! Love it!
