Great place to walk and see the old JOLIET Ammunition Depot and see and go in some of bunkers.
Great Ranger service and I can see it become similar to a National Park when it develops more. The Rangers even let you borrow binoculars for free if you leave a drivers license behind.
Rangers were very friendly. There were a few coloring pages at little desks for little people. No food for sale. Display of some stuffed local wildlife but not a buffalo, only a buffalo hide.
Great place for an adventure. We took the bikes and had a lot of fun. Would recommend.
The introduction to the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie includes a walk through the natural and geologic history of the upper midwest and illustrates how the landscape that is found there today is the result of millions of years of natural forces and glacial movements.
