The Des Plaines River Scenic Overlook is on the Waterfall Glen Main Trail. It gives hikers a good view down into the Des Plaines River to the south and the industries beside it. Enjoy this green area and lookout for frogs on the trail, as this preserved area is home to the American Toad, American Bullfrog, Green Frog, and Northern Leopard Frog.
