Potawatomi Woods

My favorite woods in the Buffalo Grove area. The trial starting from Potawatomi woods cover 30 miles. Trial follows the Des plaines river. Small streams join the river along the way, if lucky you can spot deers. Ample car parking, there is a shed( which you can book ahead of time) for organizing party. This woods look beautiful year around, and keep visiting across seasons to see it’s different shades. There are some good fishing spots as well. One of the best spots in Chicago for Fall photography.

We were walking down memory lane. The park was lovely. Not sure whether we hit the best time for fall colors. We tried.

Great park to relax. Beautiful trails with great picnic area with shelter. River access for fishing or kayaking. The lake is beautiful. Highly recommend.

A very serene place for nature lovers and exercisers. The cool fast flowing brooks, chirping birds and leafy paths make this an ideal walking/cycling track. But one has to bathe in bug spray before getting into the woods to avoid getting bitten by a million bugs. Fantastic place for children to explore nature.

Great place to have some rest, especially when many people are at work. Unfortunately, some guys left trash (plastic packets), but it is not everywhere, just in one place. You should check-in to the place to realize, how wonderful it is. Trees, lake, a lot of parking lots and so on.
