    Great preserve in the Chicagoland area! Hills and ravines provide some challenging terrain. Small trails off the main. Love this whole area!

    The winding road down Kean is my favorite street ever. The woods here have the most beautiful trees in the autumn. The trails for hiking give you options from well worn to need a little bushwhacking along the way. The people Ive met here have all been friendly, many people walk their dogs along the trails. It's secluded enough to feel special but populated enough to feel safe. A really beautiful and clean space. Update spring 2022: They have widened the creek near the parking lot and cleared some brush away. Last year there were little to no fish in the creek compared to the previous years. It was a *dramatic* decrease. So I hope that the widening of the creek allows for a healthier ecosystem and the fish come back healthier than ever. It looks beautiful. Update End of Summer 22: The fish have come back to the creek finally. They aren't nearly as big as they used to be, but they are definitely back. πŸ˜€

    My kind of trail: clean, clear and not crowded. Fall colors, brisk air and the forest anima making nests for the winter.

    Love coming here, trails are never too packed. My girls love the creek side trails and it’s a good distance for them to get tired but not whiny.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ What an amazing set of trails. They are lots of hills and changes in elevation over 150 feet throughout the entire trail system. Great for advanced mountain bikers. Hiking is our favorite thing to do on these trails. The park areas are great for family events. The trails are not good for younger chi...
