Beautiful trail! Very nice walk with the family. Sadly, the little one dragged his feet through the gravel path all the way through. I know blacktopping that path wouldn't only be expensive, but also a large shock to the wildlife.

NO BIKES/FISHING/DOGS was searching for some good bike trails near Plainfield and saw other reviews mention great paths for biking and fishing while I was here a cop coming down the trail, alerted us there’s absolutely no bikes fishing or dogs tolerated at this preserve due to heron protection. She noted that there were several signs at the entrance but I obviously wasn’t expecting/looking out for a no bikes sign, didn’t even know that was a thing. Besides that great preserve πŸ‘πŸΌ

New Family Tradition! I can't believe my own memories, it was so unreal. Stopped to stretch our legs and found this spectacular space. Open vault rest room, no running water, manicured picnic lawn, benches, two gazebos. The birds are everywhere! Dancing, playing, diving, courting... But you can't hear them Until they're right in front of you! Amazing!

Questions & Answers

Are pets aloud in the park?

From my understanding, only on the north side off of Airport / Lockport St. There is a sign at the train crossing bridge that says no pets beyond this point.

How's fishing here?

Pretty good!!! The first spot you should come across is actually a smaller lake, where you can stand on a dock and fish, excellent fishing area, caught several fish, and then there is the whole Lake, again excellent! Every visit I have caught fish! Good luck!!

Are there public washrooms?

Yes there are. Nothing fancy but there are buildings at the beginning of the trail.
