Visited this state park for the first time. It was a good walk on the circular trail. We were there at 6:30am and it wasnt open. They open 1 hour after sunrise which is 6:40 am, but they opened late at 7AM. There were not many people.

A nice quiet nature path. the path is gravel so if youre running or walking know that youll be dusty. you could probably do 4 miles of walking on the path. And its not overly crowded like some of the local forest preserves.

Beautiful Prairie land. Great for running. But it needs some amenities, like a water fountain, a bench or two and some shade cover on the path.

Beautiful trails. Hours of fun. Nice picnic area. Not a lot of shade on the paths, so bring water! Over all very nice place for a nature walk/bike. Also, saw a snake slither across the path, wildlife is very present =)

Know this place like the back of my hand. If you explore the deer trails and forests, there are remains of rusted and broken farmer equipment.Coyotes, Blue Herons, Deer, Opposums, Alligator Snapping Turtles... you name it.During the years where the fields are burned for new growth, there is always a high chance you will find the bone remains of deer and rabbits from prior coyote kills and otherwise the deers untimely death.There is a lot to explore in this preserve. You will just have to find it all first.
