My wife and I went for a beautiful fall walk to recharge or batteries. The scenery was beautiful. We walked the loop of 3 miles. The trail was smooth with no pot holes so it easy walk. We saw quite a few dog walkers. They provide supplies to clean up after pets which is always nice.

This 300 acre Forest Preserve is a part of the massive Lake County Illinois FP system. It’s highlights include rolling hills, open meadows, and a variety of water features. The 4 mile trail system includes both crushed limestone and wood chip pathways. The wood chip trail is quite lengthy, and traverses some of the best features of this Preserve. One caveat, however...it might be best to avoid the wood chip trail immediately after a heavy rain, as sections of the path are very thin on chips, but heavy on mud. While only 300 acres, the well-planned system of trails gives an impression that it is much larger. This Preserve includes and connects with the Millennium Trail. Amenities include a large, paved parking lot, a locking, two-person outhouse, and a picnic bench.

This is such a lovely place to unwind. Beautiful, well-kept trail system, with many options to vary the length of hikes. Gorgeous scenery, and alot of birds and wildlife.

Highly recommended for the variety of trees, terrain and scenery. Nicely integrated in to the exurban area, with houses built right up to the edge of the trail, but enough open areas to make certain sections feel sufficiently \wild\. The options for woodsy trails that run close to the main trail (of traditional crushed limestone) are a very welcome difference from most of the LCFPD.

A good trail that connects to a few communities and to Mellinenium Trail. Lot more elevation than I expected. Wish there were more signs where the trail leads.
