Nice undisturbed and undeveloped forest preserve. There are no parking lots and not many trails thru this forest preserve. Lots of trees and lots of racoons. No motor vehicles allowed. The pictures included were not parked in the preserve. They were parked across the street.

I was not able to find an entrance to this preserve and navigation tried taking me down a private driveway with a do not enter sign. I do not think there is any actual entrances. When I look at the website it says this is an undeveloped preserve and that there is no parking. So, be wary of navigation instructions and if anyone knows of any actual entrances to the preserve i would love to hear about them.

we went there last sunday. there is a parking lot for Butterfield park. from there walk east through grass field. there are some limited doe paths and dog walkers trails. this preserve is over run with invasive species. we notice some removal of species on the westside. over the years i have spotted eagles, deer's, coyotes...

Had good time there, very nice place, until we ran into some jerk named Sean radivoy or something like that, complete freaking jerk man said he wanted us to put things in his rectum and he would beat us up if we refused, needless to say I'm never going back, ruined my whole trip.
