Incredible nature preserve in the suburbs. Thank you DNR nature preserves for maintaining the trails. The public is lucky we saved a remnant prairie amidst the oil pipelines and railroad lines.

Tiny nature preserve but nice this time of year. Great place for a quick walk in the forest. Beautiful wildflowers and deers made the walk this morning even better.

Excellent little walk. Not very remote (traffic can be heard on every part of the trail), but a great little walk with decent life. Saw an Eastern Wood Pewee, Northern Flicker, and a bunch of goldfinches.

Great place to go for a short hike. The trail is a little less than a mile. Its great to have a place like this in a suburban area. Great place to walk the dogs or just go nature watching.
