Captain Daniel Wright Woods Forest Preserve

Took a guided tour of the Adlai Stevenson home. Nicole from the Lake Country Park District gave an informative and engaging presentation that kept the attention of the 11 & 12 year old grandchildren.

This is one of our favorite hikes that is close enough to the city but far enough to help you get detached from the stressors of life. Occasionally, the trails can be crowded but it doesnt take long to find your self some solace. Lots of wildlife if youre willing to pay attention. Occasionally, we hear a singer (who sounds like an opera singer honestly) singing around the small pond near the parking area. Its really special!

If you notice the tree thats down half it was taken down by beavers. The other half was taken down with the storm earlier that week.

It s nice place to walk and enjoy the nature, it wasnt easy to reach the entrance as google maps guides me to wrong way through Elm street. The best way to reach the entrance through St Mary street. It s free admission, lots of parking lots. It has playground for kids and many benches to relax and enjoy the scenery.
