The Forest Glen Woods Preserve property is frequently flooded and serves as an important riparian environment. There are a few trails that pass through the property, and most visitors are there to view the various birds that call the river corridor home.

This is my daily route. Not faraway from my home. Just a bit over 4 miles back and forth. Good training for your legs especially passing railway bridge.
