Great row boat and kayaking equipment and hiking trails. Excellent place to hang a hammock and enjoy nature.

This is honestly a really cool place to visit! You can honestly spend hours here going along the trails, hang out by a nice lake or even go canoeing.On just one walk I was able to see a bunch of different little animals. If you get tired of walking and want to go canoeing they have a rental area, which also has vending machines. One even dispenses bait if you feel like fishing.

We had a picnic at one of the many picnic tables which was very nice and not overcrowded at all. We took a stroller on the oath around the lake which was around 1 mile and the stroller did fine on the dirt/gravel path. There were many dogs which us always fun since we also bring out dog out with us. I can't wait to come back in the summer when it's nice and green!

Great views of the tree colors and lake. So peaceful and relaxing. Lots of spots to picnic. There’s kayaking on the lake too! It would be a great hike at the start of fall to witness the full spectrum of fall colors

Google for "herrick lake boat rental" you will get butterfield road gate Or RVH5+G6 Naperville, Illinois

Ive driven past herrick countless times and always see a cabin near the road, and recently wondered if the cabin was free to rent or just a maintenance house
