Brittle Berger: I find this place serene and calming. I use it for a good evening walks and it gets better in winter as it looks more pristine and beautiful due to the snow . Also, it is safe to visit here according to me and it is closer to the university which makes it easier to go.
Ana Gignosko: Going to give this place another try in the spring!
In the winter the trails are very hard to find from the parking lot that is open (by the railroad tracks), especially when it is your first time being there like it was for me. Very soggy after it rains so wear good shoes!
Another comment mentioned a vehicle that I have seen at ANOTHER forest preserve, exhibiting the SAME behavior. I adore dogs, but dont appreciate having them jump up on me with their owner nowhere in sight. Really wish people were more considerate, these are shared spaces, not your backyard: please keep your dogs under control and clean up after them.
Mason: I love visiting this place regularly, good place to go and think. Its full of some of the most beautiful scenery for a preserve close to town :) sometimes I bring my cat for walks, and she loves it too. I always see some sort of creature I wouldnt normally see, like deer and foxes. Nice place for reading
Donald Smith: The vegetation here is very pretty
The park looks a lot smaller from the road than it turns out to be.
Very basic amenities . There are signs and there is a path. And if you walk half a mile in theres a little picnic area.
No bathrooms, no water. Very peaceful and I rarely see people here when I drive by. Neat little spot to stop in for a short hike.
Carla Taylor: We had a meeting with brunch in one of the shelters, took an hour long excellent guided hike with Ms. Peggy, saw and heard sand hill cranes stalking the wetlands and saw a real log cabin, moved from elsewhere on the Kishwaukee River. We also visited the nature center (great for kids) with stuffed and live native animals, and a tortoise named TJ.
Christina Babcock: Good park. A little small but some nice equipment. Kind of close to the road and the equipment days that its for 5 to 12 yr olds. It was not busy while we were there.
Michelle Foy: If you are ever near or passing Clinton, IL and have a little time, it’s a fun little museum to visit. It’s a long titled place; C.H. Moore Homestead & Dewitt County Museum. It’s attorney C. Moore’s Victorian home along side his beautiful one of a kind personal libraries!
It’s a stunning mansion to go through. The tour was very educational and done by a very nice woman that knows it very well.
It is said that Attorney Moore was a very good friend of Abraham Lincoln. There are many artifacts intact that you can see on the 3 floors of this beautiful home. It also includes the 1860 carriage barn and working blacksmith shop exhibit. In 1979 it was added to the Historic Places registry!
