We went for a hike. We walked into the reception to get a map -- the lady at the desk was like she had never walked any of the trails and so couldnt give us any recommendations smh. So we followed one of the trails on the maps, came across a historic cottage, sat by the river and had lunch. On our way out we saw some of the animals in their barns. We were probably two out of the four people out that day - it was kind of rainy. It was a very peaceful hike.

One of the biggest and most interesting forest preserves in Lake county. Welcome Center open on Sundays. Educational activities, educational pathes, big parking lot. Farming exhibitions (chickens, lambs, goats).

Great place for a walk through the woods and along the Des Plaines River. Easy trail with some great history. Definitely will be back again in the spring. Love the habitat restoration work they are doing here.

Very scenic views! Nice paths and quiet for the most part aside from an occasional jogger. Went here for a college bio class and learned lots about the native species here

A gem of the northern suburbs. Absolutely beautiful forest preserve with wonderful facilities. The house is so cool. Going to Ryerson feels like going on a vacation.

Excellent walking trails to get back to nature. Very quiet compared to most other nature areas around Chicago. Not pets, food or drink (other than water) allowed.

An outdoor paradise year around in a metropolitan area. Winter is a wonderland. Especially during or after fresh snowfall.

Quaint and serene natural beauty. Wonderful place for outdoor walks, nature tours, and quiet contemplation.
