I havent caught anything but the lake is very nice to go fishing. They have plenty of picnic tables and 2 docks that has picnic table to sit while fishing or having a nice picnic. They have a really easy gravel trail that goes around the pond and also it leads in a forest that goes out the other end. So it a circular trail. I counted as a 1 mile trail. Lovely to bring families.

Beautiful place tucked into a residential area. Perfect place for family picnics/birthday parties. Or to just to go for a walk, ride a bike, or fish.

Beautiful place tucked into good’ol Wood Dale. I run it every morning and it never disappoints. Nice gravel trail, and half of the mile circuit is in a forest that’s just as nice as the pond on the other half. Lots of parking & benches.

Been going here for as long as I remember with my parents. Fishing,bbqs, walks, looking for frogs. Now Im almost 30 and take my children. Great place for family time/events/ or even if you want some alone time. Even sometimes on occasion a nice talk with a person Passing by. Recommend to everyone

Very clean. Restrooms were as good as expected but no sinks for hand washing. Bring water for drinking and cleaning up. Lots of space for distancing yourself. Beautiful area!

Nice place. Pretty little pond, decent and fun to fish in. Easy trails. Nice getaway thats close to home. Even my kid was able to catch a few at 2-1/2 years old. 2 piers and plenty of shoreline. Very colorful in the fall. Can get a little crowded and noisy at times though.

This forest preserve is nice to visit, there is parking if you take your vehicle. Then there is a trail so you can walk or run around. It was a bit cold but it was relaxing to walk while talking. I saw other people with their family and a few just by themselves, getting their steps in. They have a calendar of events and it includes fishing, volunteering and stuff for the kids to do. There are a few benches if you want to seat and relax. They do have men and woman washrooms just in case so it basically a nice place to come and checkout.It is so nice to spend time outdoors and breathe fresh air.
