Great beautiful scenic park. Grandkids, age 10 and 13 loved it. We walked down waterway that led to the river. Kids and I loved walking in water over stones, saw small fish. Even nice in the downpour. Definitely will go again.
Stunning views driving to and through the park. My only regrets were not being able to take photos and not planning an actual visit as we were passing through. Take the drive - make time to stop and enjoy the unique views, picturesque highways covered in tree canopy. this is a place we have added as a must re-visit in the future.
A hidden gem in Illinois... Beautiful, extensive park with crushed rock running trails, paved bike trails, and hiking opportunities galore. All well tended, with beautiful wildlife, the Kankakee River to admire, and Rock Creek to cool your feet in.
Be sure to stop at the main park and get a map and some park information --- after a former governor screwed up the funding certain parts of the park are being remodeled/reopened --- and fun will be had by all!
Hidden gem with scenic trails for an easy hike amongst nature. Rock creek is very clean with easy access. Great way to spend a day outdoors.
Great place to to for kayaking and biking. They have these bikes that you are able to rent pay as you for $1 per 30 min.
