Went to check out the height of the lake and creek after the rain... always something new to see... Just put your phone down and enjoy nature

This is my HAPPY PLACE! I bike, kayak hang out on Sundays grilling with my husband and have celebrated many Father’s Days there. Sadly, the nature is governed and controlled by those who run the preserves. Our first tree and picnic spot they let become overrun by weeds right off the entrance at the Main Dam off Arlington Hgts Road, saying “ it’s bad for the environment to run the mowers”. Our second tree was CANCELED because they deemed the species as unhealthy for the environment to prosper and to my devastation.. chopped it down!! I was in tears! So many memories and such a beautiful serene spot with nice shade if you need it because my husband burns … OUR TREE…GONE FOREVER 😢

Very nice trail for hiking, not too crowded, forest looks really beautiful in Autumn colors

My escape from work

A nice place to visit when you want to get out of the Rat's Nest of the city.

Beautiful magnificent facilities Friendly people Open spaces biking and walking

good fishing but quite a hike from the parking area

I'm at odds with them amount of glass and garbage left at this place, there are trash cans all over and nobody can make it in the trash can? Seriously!!

Peaceful, nice place to fish and just take a walk
