You get pretty decent views from a bunch of different spots around the River Bend Forest Preserve, but no perspective is quite like this one. Being across the water from the main preserve entrance, this area usually offers a bit of solitude and great views of the water. A smooth gravel trail leads to this great viewpoint.
