Loved this forest preserve! Great place to walk the dog. The only complaint I have is that its extremely loud and you can hear the traffic so much. Not the forest preserves fault at all, just something I noticed. Beautiful scenery and trails. They are kept up nicely, you can tell. Love that there is natural exercise equipment along the trail. Whomever planned this place out, did an excellent job. Would love to come here more frequently in the spring, summer and fall. The trails are quiet in the winter and are great length. Not too long, but wind and twist through beautiful forest. Definitely would recommend to others.

It's a nice area for picnic or just nature walks. It takes about 30-35 minutes to walk around the pond if you start and finish at shelter D. The only downside to this shelter- it doesn't have any electric outlets. Looks like they were removed at some point. Should you want to boil some water or make coffee - it won't work there. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the area. It is close to highway but it doesn't interfere with whatever activities you may plan.

I'm simultaneously happy and sad this place isn't as utilized as it should be. Found it after holding a large work team gathering with tons of games and food. The park employees were super helpful with that so I was happy to come back with my family. Lots of hiking trails, brilliant foliage, natural setting. I've lived in multiple places in the country and Lake County has been the best park experience of all of them.

Beautiful forest preserve for a leisurely walk through the woods in the late afternoon. Not a lot of people around and it was really peaceful here despite being by the expressway and smaller than most preserves. Extremely well maintained trail with bathrooms as well. Did a combination of the blue trail and yellow trail with the dog in about 45 minutes. Will return for a longer walk!

Today I decided to get off the expressway and visit this place that I saw before when driving by and I'm glad I did, lots of places to go with nice views, you can even drive from one site to another within the park, I went to the sledding hill where you get amazing views specially before sunset, there's a pond next to it were you can go fishing. I'm definitely going back.

Beautiful park with various parking areas and trails of different lengths. The only reason I give it a 4 is that certain things didn't make sense. Many of the mile markers were missing in the woods, many some area didn't have trash cans, there was an ash disposal pit at one place but didn't see any outdoor grill spaces or patios, and the exercise spaces need some TLC.
