Hiking

Situated where the east and middle forks of the Chicago River merge, Watersmeet Woods earns its name from this distinctive convergence. The varied collection of trees, shrubs, sedges, grasses, and wildflowers within this natural haven thrives thanks to the continuous efforts of volunteers participating in the North Branch Restoration Project.
