Gander Mountain Forest Preserve 43419 Wilmot Road, Antioch, IL 60002

"Limited parking on side of road. Great spot for hill training."

"Parking is a little awkward but dealable. Views are so beautiful. Quite a few different paths to take, so plenty to see. Steep in some areas but worth it!"

"Loved it! Once you get past fearing for your life parking on the main road and almost getting pancaked by the gravel trucks headed to/fro the quarry it's fantastic! Super quiet, so many trails to choose from, LOTS of steep inclines/declines. Wear grippy shoes. I felt like Tommy boy in Black Sheep 'Be strong little roots!' as I held on to trees so I wouldn't go flying down over my huskies onto the ground. There is a gravel trail but we took the homemade ones for more adventure. Way fun. I love lake county forest preserves but I'm wondering why they can't borrow a little gravel from the quarry next door to make the empty space at the entrance into parking spaces. For safety. I don't care about convenience. Just be careful with dogs, keep them on leash so they don't get squished by a truck."

"Nice trail! Some are wide , some are narrow. Can definitely get momentarily lost! Some good elevation once in a while too. I'll be back for sure."

"It was quite beautiful. Not an easy hiking trail, but nothing my 7 year old couldn't handle. Lots of different paths to choose. My dogs and family had a lot of fun and got a ton of exercise. Tired and happy."
