The Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville IL has everything an outdoors fanatic could want. Hikers, bicyclers, horseback riders and cross-country skiers can enjoy more than 6 miles of turf and limestone trails, including a convenient route to the Illinois Prairie Path. Trails around the McKee Marsh area feature two observation decks, a bird blind, and signs that describe the history and ecological significance of the marsh.

Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville IL. I review my expectations for a 6.2 mile lolipop loop hike with plenty of sights.
Overlooking “White Pine Pond” which I continually call “McKey Marsh.” But that’s ok because its a beautiful sunny September day.
I walk along and around Silver Lake. Sit back and enjoy the sounds and sights of nature.
The tallest point in DuPage County, Mt. Hoy offers fantastic views of the Chicago Skyline, the Western Suburbs and Fermilab’s Outer Loop. If Fermilab interests you, feel free to view our hike at Waterfall Glen which circles Argonne National Laboratory: https://www.hike360vr.com/waterfall-g…
“So… that did not go as planned.” : ) Ryan discusses some detours and off-roading (or rather on-roading). And a nice correction about McKey March actually being White Pine Pond.
