Ahhh finally we have a place where we don't have to look at houses,shops, buildings, etc. This is a great place to retreat to nature, that is also conveniently located near Hinsdale/Oak Brook and right off of a main street: York Road. Well, despite its convenient location it is a hands down gorgeous place to go whether you are in the mood for a nice stroll, a nature lover or looking for an intense work out but sick of the monotonous gym set ups.
I love coming here to see the beautiful nature and walk along with paths in the woods that have been so nicely preserved. At any moment you can come across a deer meandering about. But don't worry they of course want nothing to do with you so there is no harm there. I personally like to come in the fall when the leaves change color, it's is undoubtedly a sight to see! The entire loop of the path is roughly five miles and around every corner there is never ending sights of nature.
It's good to know that amongst the craziness of the suburbs, there is a place to retreat to.
