Reviews of Chicago Portage National Historic Site
"Wonderful park with plenty of historical plaques and wildlife. Saw a deer while walking along the trails. Combination of gravel and paved trails. Decent amount of parking available."
"Decent trail, close to home. My biggest complaint about this trail is the obvious lack of maintenance of the natural landscape. Who is responsible for spraying & fertilizing the trees? Some kind of disease has swept thru this little historical park. I’ve been coming here for years & can say I’ve watched the trees in this tiny forest dying at an alarming rate. There are homeless people who camp out & often live here. I’ve seen the cops patrol this little forest, but the punks manage to spray gang signs on trees & structures. Sux but won’t stop me from coming here."
"My first hike at Portage. Great outdoor trail close to home."
"A hidden gem (if you don't know about it lol) great views and trails here. Very serene and peaceful, especially with the cut off portion of the Desplaines river. Walking where Chicago most likely got it's name and smelling the same smells that the natives did so many years ago puts things into perspective."
"I love it here! The trails are always clear and it's never too busy. My son loves it too. Great area for photos as well. We come al the time especially for quick walks to get some exercise in."
