Nice calm and peaceful forest preserve, with a Creek running through it. Walking through beautiful winding trails was very relaxing.Spotted couple of deers while walking. The play area is well maintained and not so crowded. There are plenty of parking lots available. The Preserve is well cladded in a beautiful neighborhood.

Nice forest preserve with lots to see, including herons. Very nice, well-maintained walking trails. Definitely worth a visit almost any time of year.

The playground was appropriate for any age group from young toddler on and quite large! Sand pit, climbing, slides, swings, ramps. The trails are beautiful prairie paths. Beautiful views even from the playground.

I have visited Heron Creek Forest Preserve on a few occasions now for a short walk along the trails. Although the fine gravel pathways tend to be pretty dusty they are all evenly paved and taken care of to the same degree as the rest of the preserve. Overall this is a pretty nice open space that I can recommend if you want to spend some time outdoors.

Nice small preserve with s play ground, nice pavilions and ample parking. The Southern loop is scenic with trees, meadow and the creek as you cross bridges. The Northern loop does not offer sny shade and is close to the road.

They show a beautiful picture of a lake and the creek but you cant get to it from what I saw. I tried to find a path but nothing. The overgrowth I expected but the pictures make it look like you can find something off the main gravel trail. great for a walk on the trail but pictures are deceiving.

Good trail, kids park is closed due to COVID restrictions but trail is open for people to walk and bike. All people on the trail were wearing masks and maintaining social distance. Area in general is peaceful and well kept. Trail path has few high and low spots but in general seems to be flat, which is good for young kids on bike.

Spent a lovely couple hours walking the well maintained trails through the forest preserve, admiring the fall colors.

Excellent place to walk, close to our house My wife and try to walk there 2 to 3 x week. When our son was younger he loved the playgrounds.

Nice 1.5 mile jogging/biking trail, decent kids playground. There are couple of shades as well. Overall nice place in Long Grove/Killdeer area.

Ive been going to this place for a number of years. I always enjoy it. It has long nice trails. Although there are only a few trails they are all enjoyable. This place has a massive grill and park. Its the perfect place for holding events. There are countless reasons to come.

Nice playground. Walking trails are also great.

Great for walking. Nice people around and not too crowded in the morning.

Its beautiful but very little wildlife out, not even birds....

Great place to walk. Trails are wide and dry. Terrain is rolling and varied. Parking and shelter at the top of the hill usually have more room.

Great nature preserve with nice walking paths and a playground for kids

A bit small for hiking, but great for family walks

Wow absolutely stunning forest preserve. Well maintained paths for walking or biking, great playground, beautiful scenery, and dog friendly. Plus great spot for a picnic.

Great forest preserve. Gorgeous, creative playground for all ages and abilities. Even an old-school sand/digging area! Several picnic shelters, parking areas, maps. And while it is nature, be aware of ticks. My least favorite part about Lake County forest preserves. Just check yourself before you leave and when you get home!!!

Loved it, our favorite place to walk our dog.

Lovely nature! Clean, green and nice, recommend.

Gravel trails are wide and well marked with frequent maps. A bit wet fromsnow melt but not bad at all and very little elevation change. The park also has well maintained play areas for kids. Lots of deer tracks.

Nice trails, scenic, and pretty. I enjoyed it.

Relaxing, nice trails, clean area.

Great walking trails, bathrooms available, picnic areas. Available for small parties and there is a kids playground. Enjoyed getting into nature even if only for the afternoon.

Great park to do laps on the bike

Clean and well maintained paths with a few different options. Paths are gravel and not paved. They have a nice playground for the kids and several parking lots.

Bike trail is not hard for beginners, maybe a bit too easy for the experienced, but definitely family-friendly. The two gazebos are perfect for a group picnic. Grounds are well-maintained, and children always have fun esp. when going downhill on their bikes.

Beautiful place. Great trails and amazing playground.

Great for walking and running. Theres a bathroom, so you can complete a lap and not have to worry about ruining nature or go back home just to go to the bathroom. The area is clearly taken care of well and is great for all ages (theres even a park). Ill definitely be going back more often to explore the area more

One of the nicest trails in the area.

Loved this area. Beautiful nature and has a nice playground for the kids.

Beautifully preserved forest with lots of parking and easily accessible. Walking trails are nicely paved and well marked. Well maintained kids play area. The flora and fauna changes according to the season. The jungle like feel is charming. Ideal place of morning or evening walk. Relax with bird chirping in the background

Clean, well maimtained. Great trails and large play park.

Very nice walk through prairie and forest. 1.46 miles per lap. Even dogs are allowed. Some people jog, most walk. Peaceful area and there is also a childrens playground.

By far the best playground in the area. Great walking paths (but not very shaded so come prepared).

Great park to play. Very new and clean equipment. Very open play area. Great place to walk/run dogs. Great park and great trails to walk and run. Nice little bridges to pass over water. Very peaceful place and a great place to host picnics or family/corporate outings.

Trails are well maintained the foliage is beginning to turn colors. Listened to a chorus of coyotes, saw several deer, a great horned owl and numerous water fowl fly overhead. Always a pleasure

Very cleen. Well maintained,my favorit plase to go

Nice place to play with kids and take a walk.

We came here last week for the first time. Trails were muddy due to the melting snow, but the forest preserve is nice. Would visit again once it gets warmer.

Amazing park with nice running trail. There are a lot of ticks in the grass so if you have a furry one with you watch out after your walk. Ive found multiple ticks in the fur of my dog after a few visits.

Great place for a walk or ride.

Great playground with both big play equipment and small play equipment. Not much shade, though. It has been my kids favourite for years. Lovely walking trails as well.

Great location for a party. Its to the side of main trails and has its own small parking lot. There is water fountain as well as bathrooms.

Very clean and a nice place for a lunch walk

This Forest preserve has nice winding trails, outhouses and a great playground near parking. My daughter requests to go here over our nearby park.I enjoy the trails with and without others, they take you over bridges, in and out of shade.

One of Places I conduct Conversation to Most High,The other Lake Bluffs Sunset Beach..These Spots Holy to Me..

Nice place for a walk on unpaved walkways...cross country ski in winter...Mostly deer and birds I have seen here. Nice playground down entry road for families with children

Nice decent place to have timeout with family and friends

Heron Creek Forest Preserve is a family favorite. They have beautiful trails and a wonderful park for the kids to play at so you have the best of both worlds! While walking on the trails we have seen deer, coyote, frogs, snakes, and a lot of birds.

Very quiet when Ive been here

Beautiful

Beautiful crushed stone paths through wooded and prairie landscapes. Along with a recently updated playground.

Beautiful park. Nothing to fancy but it really is just a forest preserve for walking, running, and biking. Great parking lots for taking naps in your car also.

Great playground area for kids of all ages! Safe, newer equipment with plenty of space for days that draw a large number of people to the park.

Loop trail great for hiking or running. Not busy on a weekday afternoon on a warm winter day.

The only thing that would make this place better is more trees around the parking lots for added shade.

Theres no place like Nature!

Great place to stop and play. We hiked and did some geocaching.

Nice, well kept area, ideal for a shorter walk or run! Can be a great place for a not too noisy birthday party too!

Great, easy nature walk. Saw many migrating birds while on my walk. I was pleasantly surprised!

Nice area to photograph birds

Great big park with lots of walking/runing paths. Nice and large playground. Very nice rest area.
