Great place to go for a walk of have a picnic. Cool boardwalk area. They could use a few more tables.

If you're looking for nice trails to walk, this is a great preserve for you. Trails are wide, open, long, and loop around. If you prefer the nature aspect of being in between forested area, there's some good stretches for that as well but most trails are open and around the lake. Well kept preserve, and I even like to visit in the winter because of how cool the lake looks when it is frozen.

Questions & Answers

If heading out for fishing, are there cleared inlets and designated spots?

I wouldn't say "designated", but it's abundantly clear where the popular spots are by how much they're worn, and there's always the dock.

Can we do our own barbq

Yea. There's a grill by the shelter. I assume you need to reserve the shelter to use it though

can you use your own kayak?!

Jason B | May 6, 2021
Peter Rodriguez | May 7, 2021

Yes you absolutely can bring you own kayak. Zebra mussels are in a lot of lakes. Its up to you as a responsible boater to wash your boat before and after each body of water you travel to and remove any mussels to avoid spreading this invasive species. However you do have to purchase a permit online with the dupage county DNR. Check out there website and look for permit section.
