McDowell Grove Forest Preserve

First time here, park is nice, some picnic tables, a porta potty, and walking trails.
I could see where this park could be really hard to walk along the river trail when wet...lots of mud. I didn't check out the other trail.
Saw lot's of people walking dogs here.
There is also Geocaching in this park, but make sure you have the proper clothing and bug spray for ticks when caching, ticks are numerous off the trails.

This is a great launch point for a nature walk/bike ride along the DuPage River. From here you can head north towards Warrenville or south into Naperville. Either way you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful park with miles and miles of trails. Most of the trails are crushed limestone but they also have some single track and wider dirt trails. There’s also a small lake to run around and a dam at the other end of the park. The parking lot is a great size and was recently repaved. Check this place out!

Perfect place for a nice quiet walk when the weather is nice outside. Not too many bugs and have great area for family picnics. It's beautiful during fall as well. If you follow the long trail ...along the way you find a huge flower field which is so beautiful during spring time...the hidden water dam where some people fish during the warmer months follow the small river some more and it will lead you to Naperville downtown area which I think its pretty cool.

Great for walking, running or biking.. Walking paths are mostly green grass which adds to pleasure of walking. I spent almost 2 hours and enjoyed every moment of it. The longest trail is close to 4 miles, so it's not a big deal to walk through the whole preserve within that period of time..
