This place is a cool place to go hiking depending what time you go you might be able to see a coyotes and it has two lakes to walk around!

Beautiful forest preserve with two lake loop trails nestled against the Morton Arboretum and rt. 53. This preserve features a big open lake, Round Meadow Lake, with a trail that loops around. The area is open for great views and easy fishing access. Trail is gravel and very level and well maintained. The second lake, Eagle lake, is much more wooded and shady but also has a gravel loop trail. It is a good spot for birdwatching due to a lot of undergrowth and proximity to water. In between the two lakes is a beautiful old bridge from the 1870s which is well worth a visit. The forest preserve is accessed from a single entrance across from the WalMart and features two parking areas, one close the the picnic pavilion and restrooms and another near the informational sign and bridge. Overall this is a great forest preserve that offers a wide variety of scenery for its size and location!

Hosted my bridal shower here! Great picnic shelter that can be reserved. Perfect for relaxed parties or birthdays. Close by bathrooms and dumpster for easy clean up. Beautiful day in a beautiful space!

Beautifully maintained walking trail with nature all around. Good place for a walk, bike ride, or to just relax for a moment. Well maintained paths. Surrounded by nature. The trail to the hidden lake is partially shaded. Very easy, could probably even make it around handicap accessible. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon. Would recommend for a quick getaway from the bustle of the city.
