"Live 5 min from here so very convenient.... Benn coming here since I was a child. Love the trails and scenery"
"Savings to be a Will County forest preserve that it's nearest to me they've recently done some remodeling to their Center and to the grounds. It's a great place to hike in you can even rent a camping site and they have specialized programs you can partake in. All in all good job Will County."
"I have never been to this location. I do not recognize this name."
"Great place to take a walk. Several trails. There's a nature center on site and I learned today that it is a registered migratory stop for monarch butterflies. Camping, horse trails, picnic areas. Also has winter activities"
"We were sledding on hill having a wonderful day. Utill the Forest Preserve police pulled and yelled the "Preserve is closed you need to exit now" It was 2:00pm the preserve normal hours are 8am to sunset. Our county employees wanted to go watch the Super Bowl. Us Tax pays don't count. The County employees that called in sick to watch the super bowl should be fired! Is their any supervision?"
