We have our dog events here but it is also a nice place to trail ride and commune with nature.

Love hunting here and love that they have this available, but it can get overcrowded

Always a great hunt at Des Plaines SFWA. LOTS of space to spread out, birds everywhere. Easy to access and sign up, and IDNR does a good job of managing this precious resource so close to so many of us hunters. Please support thus program when you have a chance.
