Nice to get into nature it has a pretty pond and gently rolling wooded hills. Coyotes and deer are often seen as well as the occasional fox

The entrance is easy to miss; its literally hidden 😅 However, aside from that it is a beautiful semi secluded little hidden gem. Lots of tall beautiful trees🌳🌳🌳 and tranquility ☺️ - perfect for a quiet and romantic picnic 🥰😉 bonus! You might even see some people on horse back passing through and stopping by the water pump for a drink 🏇🏇🏇

The woods are okay I suppose. But the name is way too literal, there's no pond in sight! Lol The pond is completely overgrown with weeds and grass. IDK if there is even water in the middle or if it's all grass now. It didn't look like a pond at all. There's no fishing there in any way at all. Unless you want to walk around the woods with a massive amount of mosquitoes, then skip this spot.

Nice little spot to chill 😎

Nice little out the way spot for a nice walk, there was a coyote out today but you can't really tell from the picture.

Nice place to play games. Large open field.

There is an ice skating pond here. Obviously there are warnings but it has signs declaring it an ice rink. Plenty of parking. There is even a bench on north side of the forest where you can look at the prairie. Nice trails for walking.

A beautiful trail close to my house to walk the dog. It connects to a few other trails so it is easy to knock out a 3 mile run.

Nice peaceful forest preserves with lakes..

It's a good place to pull off the road, especially when you need to clean up because a toddler puked in the back of your car. Safe to park and take your time to clean things, and garbage cans to get rid of used cleaning materials. Would not recommend the toddler puking again, but would stop here again.

Very nice, small but very nice. Deer just walk around and do not get spooked by people. If you are visiting in or after the rain, wear good shoes, it's muddy.

Good trails and lots of parking

I highly love this place. Beautiful abundant trees left and right. It can get pretty busy this time of year so even though there are alot of different parking lots around to choose from at different preserves, it can get pretty crowded. The paths are gravel like and medium difficulty terrain. Paths are pretty wide so the bikes don't run you over. Lots of birds and pretty sounding cricketers. Paths that leaf to all over the place to different preserves
