Riverview Preserves was a great place for a photo shoot we did. People were friendly and kept social distant.

Decent views not for road bikes. About 1/4th of the trail is paved the rest is gravel with portions overgrown with grass. Wish there were more options for bike trails around here but for a very short ride this place is okay.

Nice park with old limestone house, barn, and trails. Has kayak access to DuPage river, grills, picnic table, and bathroom. Good place to walk the dog.

Absolutely fantastic gem of a small quiet place to enjoy nature. Great place to go for walks. Too bad a huge development with over 700 residents is in the planning to be built where the horse farm meets up with the forest preserve. Plan involves putting a 3 lane road next to the forest preserve. Will kill the beautiful setting . Too bad

Its a nice small park with 3 trails. There is a canoe drop off which is where the pictures were taken and it is just beautiful! I love going there after work and relaxing listening to the water and soaking up all the nature around you!

Nice park, tucked away from traffic. A large portion of the trail is actually a gravel road, so prepare your footwear. The Farmstead is fairly scenic, however it closes at 4 so I was unable to go inside and check out the (museum?)

Great little Gem of a well kept, quiet trail to walk the Pups, ride bikes, Pick-nic, Barbecue or just Chillin. We really enjoy the people, atmosphere, nature, and solitude that this park has. Its also a favored place for Birding, and quiet enough for dear to just be hangin out. So bring the binoculars and a blanket, or launch your kayak.

One of my favorite spots in Naperville. Super low-key with a nice, short trail running next to the river. Great little gazebo area for BBQs too.

I like hiking and bike riding there along the river. The boat launch is also nice if you are with your kayak, although you habe to carry for at least 200 yards.
