McLean Fen Forest Preserve

Great place to go if you want to take a short walk but still want to be surrounded by wildflowers. Recommend coming here on a cloudy day or when it’s not too hot, if you’re planning to take your dog as there isn’t a lot of shade. There were a lot of benches available throughout the walk, for those who want to sit and relax. The parking lot is small but that wasn’t an issue even when I came here on a Sunday. Overall, a cute place!

This is a really nice place to go for a walk around in nature. It was easy to park and get going. The trail itself was not a difficult path and it was nice and quiet.

Nice little trail, partly inclined. You can walk the whole thing in about half an hour. Paved, not limestone or gravel, which is nice for keeping your shoes clean. A small boardwalk and a ton of wildflowers! We saw grasshoppers, caterpillars, deer, bees, hummingbirds, and goldfinches. It's close to the quarry and McLean so you do get traffic noise, but overall a pleasant little hike.

Very peaceful trail. It's not a long trail which is good for a quick stroll. My kids like to go to this trail. The view is nice.

nice quick trail. Lots of birds, flowers and paved. Only drawback currently is there is construction going on next door with the new neighborhood coming in. It's inclined and declined so you can get a decent walk in. Small parking lot but it's never full.
