Barnes Forest Preserve

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The Barnes Forrest Preserve is a beautiful green space on the west of Aurora. There is a paved trail, the Center Loop, that takes you around the preserve.

Tip by

14.4 km

Rare to find this high canopy forest and open views. Hopefully it's destined for oldgrowth management.

Don't miss the big esker, apparently remnants of glacial flow!

Yes, you can bike across this bridge over Blackberry Creek! There's also a nice bench if you'd like to sit down and enjoy the view for a while.
