Visited for the first time in early August and found a beautiful scene. Gorgeous prairie and wildflowers, fen, creek and woodland. The loop trail took up about 30 minutes walking at a moderate pace, it could easily be done multiple times if you are wanting a longer walk. Nice parking area and restroom. Definitely recommend!
Went for a walk and use bathroom
Hidden gem. Really like the nature walk.
I have loved this fen since 2002. This is the only fen of it's kind in Northern Illinois. When you walk in between the two long bridges you can jump on the soil and it feels spongy and will move with you. There are signs on your walk around the fen to educate you. I have seen geese, blue herons, cardinals and red winged black birds there. The collection of plants there are one of a kind. When you park you instantly see phlox. There is a pavillion and bathrooms there as well.
