Review is for the launch. River Left access. Signage is good for cars and inbound boats. No ADA-EZ dock at the launch, but it is a nice launch. Parking has been upgraded, no need to park on the grass. There is a boat rack, that I am trying to figure out what its for. I did not see restrooms on the launch side of the river. I am sure by east side by the park there is some.

A nice place for family photos or wedding photos. Could potentially be a good place for a family picnic. The aged barn adds some visual distinction from other parks like it.

Great place, lots of clean and well paved paths. Fireflies can light up the grass at night, which was very scenic. Tons of bugs though.

Probably my favorite park in Plainfield! So many gorgeous wildflowers, dragonflies & birds. Great for a nature walk. The path is about a mile around, so its a nice place to jog also. Bring sunscreen, there is nearly no shade. There is also a volleyball court, childs playground & bathrooms available.

We kayaked from knoch Knolls down to Eaton, and it was a beautiful 2.5 hours of easy paddling. Small parking lot, but a nice pull up circle for getting our boats loaded. No pics bc I was busy enjoying the day.

We use the kayak launch there. Easy access to water. Can back right up to water. There is alot of parking although at busy times you are parking on the grass.

I went fishing here at night. Its a tiny spot that gets crowded during the day with people accessing the river to go tubing. Small parking lot just with a boat ramp - not really much of a park.

Review №12

Parking on the boat launch side is a tad small for the new amount of people trying to float down the river. And yes there is the other side of the river where you can park but trying to have kids walk next to traffic over the river is a tad risky.

We only go here to kayak the DuPage river. I started at Knoc Kolls, the water was very shallow, so we got stuck 8 times in the middle of the river along this 6 mile course. I been to better Kayak places but getting stuck like this never happened to me. Great views, slow current, but too shallow for me ( i went July 10th )

Great paved path and playground. We see deer regularly and enjoy having a restroom on site. Also, has a drinking fountain with dog accommodation on it.

A beautiful park with a lot to do. There is a playground area for kids, a sand volleyball court, a walking path through a prairie, a pavilion for parties and on the other side of the river, a boat launch that is popular for kayaking and tubing. There are two bathrooms (no sink, just toilet style porta potties) and a big parking lot. Theres also an old barn, which makes a great backdrop for photography.
