About This Trail

Imported description

There is an easy two mile loop in the oldest forest preserve. The main road through the preserve has beautiful scenery, and a great view of the Rock River. I recommend that you stop and eat whenever you can. There are only two places that you can get sanitary napkins when you are on the trail and on the return side. dogs are welcome on a leash
