A quiet, peaceful place to spend some time. I went fishing, didn't catch a thing,

Great forest preserve. We rented out the entire pavilion for our camp after our 10 mile hike. Also had 5 miles of paths at the preserve. Paths could have been taken better care of.

Pretty habitats and well maintained picnic area. We did around 5 miles of trails. The trails were not maintained well and didn't match the map, so it was a little confusing when leading our summer camp kids through the trails.

Very pretty park, but some of the trails are not marked well. There are a few intersections that have no markers and some that have old ones with numbers that don't go with the map. It looked like some heavy duty trucks had driven on some of the trails making mud pits that were difficult or impossible to pass. Saw lots of frogs and toads.

I took my kids fishing here many times over the years. When the kids were grown my wife and I would relax and fish for hours just enjoying the great outdoors and each others company..
