Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 This is a fun, scenic trail. There's Salt Creek, the waterfall by the mill, bridges, tunnels of trees, and lots to look at. If you follow the trail around the creek, it's about 3.5 miles around.

Oldfield Oaks

👍👍 “Nice and easy trail with scenic views. The loop took us about 25 minutes to complete. I would definitely recommend this trail for anyone looking to go on a walk or run. There are no bikes allowed either.”

One of the few places you can see what Illinois would have looked like if we hadn't destroyed it, So be respectfu...

I didn't see any visible fountains and additional trash cans would be nice. Otherwise nice area in a good neighborhood. Just take note it's next...

Egermann Woods
Nature preserve
👍👍 They've been doing some burning recently on the side along Hobson and it looks pretty cool. This is one of my favorite forest preserves in the area, but I never thought to review it. Anyway, it's a great park. There are multiple different smaller trails that are not on the map, but they are easy to...
