Reviews
"Beautiful and kept trail :) dress warmly if going during chilly days. Lots of open areas so when the wind blows, it is extra chilly!"
"This preserve is such a gem. I wish I discovered it earlier to enjoy it in the summer time but fall here is absolutely stunning too. I did a 1,7m hike but would love to come back to explore more trails. Bathrooms could use a little cleanup but otherwise it’s really well maintained and marked. Great getaway!"
"This spot’s got everything—beach, prairie paths, and ravine paths. There are both paved and grass trails. Beautiful restored vegetation and vistas of Lake Michigan which make for excellent butterfly & bird watching. Highly recommended."
"This is hands down the most beautiful Fort in the Nort Shore. The trails above the lake are beautiful in spring and summer. Walking down to the beach is also such a treat and for children, theres no better place to experience a nice and doable walk. Swimming is discouraged and probably for good reason. No lifeguards or anything, but getting your feet wet is totally doable. The new bathrooms are also a huge plus!"
"This park is easily on my top 10 scenic parks in Illinois. Whenever I need a peaceful getaway and relax, this is the place. The park isn't huge, but it offers beautiful lake views. The trails are well-maintained and great for walking."
