Friendly people enjoying nature.
Great good park. Haven’t run into an aggressive dog yet, which I’m very glad about. And after the dog park you can take a walk through the woods .
Was there for a picnic; nice park but no running water anywhere. Women's bathroom had no stall doors; could not wash my hands. Be sure to bring hand sanitizer or wipes.
Love the dog park! We enjoy it here.
The hiking trail was shorter than expected but overall the park and the lake was amazing.
Nice preserve , quiet, and peaceful place to connect with nature. Dog friendly!
Mayslake Dog Park is a canine paradise! From the spacious, well-maintained grounds to the thoughtful amenities, this park is a haven for dogs and their owners alike. The fenced-in areas provide ample room for pups to run and play freely, while the separate sections for small and large dogs ensure safe and enjoyable interactions for all breeds. The agility equipment adds an extra element of fun and exercise for energetic pups. Plus, the convenient location and ample parking make it easy to visit regularly. Mayslake Dog Park truly exceeds expectations and is a must-visit for any dog owner in the area!
Nice relatively small forest preserve. Nice quiet area in spite of being sandwiched between two busy highways. Beautiful forest, and a nice picnic area. Only have a short time to take a full circle hike? Come here!
This place has improved so much since they opened several years ago! A good fenced in spot for small dogs up to 25lbs. And the area for large dogs is fantastic! Poop bags are supplied right before you enter the gate. They had a water pump for the dogs too by parking lot, not sure if it's still available. Not a lot of parking spots & they fill quickly on weekends but cars are always coming & going just be patient.
There's a big open field at one end and a paved path through wooded areas. Good amount of road noise given the surrounding roadways. Someone I know had a laptop stolen from their car while they ate lunch here. I only use it for the pathway to get north/south. Have encountered deer on the paths.
We hosted our wedding ceremony at one of the shelters in the forest preserve. We cannot thank Ranger Dave enough!!! We had a beautiful ceremony and Dave went above and beyond helping us through the permit process as well as making the shelter beautiful. Thank you to all the rangers who help keep Fullersburg Woods a beautiful area for the community!
Beautiful forest preserve for wedding photos. The Flat bridge was a nice location surrounded by a few paths for a variety of photos backdrops in a short distance from the parking lot. keep in mind a photo permit is required for photos in all dupage county forest preserves.
This trip was amazing! Fullersburg Woods and the nature museum were awesome. My kids and I explored the island and saw a lot of fish, frogs, and we were about 5 feet from a deer eating!
Then we went to the nature center and my kids could have played there for a few hours. We spent about an hour there looking at the animals and they also played with all the interactive areas.
I would definitely highly recommend going here to enjoy a great day of fun!

These photos were taken July 2022, almost a year ago. I haven’t been back recently, but definitely a serene place. Been here more than once.
It has a beautiful path to walk, run, bicycle. The scenic view is meditative.
I’ve only gone in the mornings before 10am. I’ve never seen what looks to be a restaurant open. It always looked abandoned to me. But it’s away from front view so it’s not distracting. It does not take away from the value of the experience.
The restrooms aren’t bad for a public outdoor restroom. It did not smell every time I’ve been there so far. Enough parking space. Mornings seems not busy. The trail is at least a mile-2 miles.
Worth the trip if you’re not from the area.

I like the path options so you can walk as long/ far as you want and you can walk in a loop so you don't have to turn around to get back to the parking lot.
Just the right amount of shade and sun for a comfortable walk on a warm day.
Watch for the wildlife!

Very nice trail walk about 2 miles or so, River walk , deep forest walk. Indoor facilitie are clean and offer animals in tanks A large mammoth Skeleton and giant bird nest Great place. Plus bathrooms available
Well maintained forest preserve just off highway 88. It is connected via under highway to another section.
It loops around for about one mile. It needs some more signs around intersections.

This place is such a great place for walks and kayaking ! We encountered multiple deer each time we have been here walking the trails . Bass fishing is kinda tough here but I managed to get 2! Water ranges from 1-10 feet .
Nice walking trail in the middle of the busy neighborhood ! It's a blessing to the locals and everyone. Easy and good approach roads.
Walking through the nature - woods, small lake and even the deers ! One will not feel the heat during summer days.
Multiple trails of various lengths. The trails are mostly flat and are suitable for everyone. The trail color coding post at various turns will never let anyone lose the track !
Picnic tables suitable for small and medium strength groups.
The information boards all along the trail and the exploration center is keeping everyone educated.

Beautiful park to walk and enjoy some beautiful trees in the fall as the leaves begin to change. While visiting they had a maintenance crew cleaning up and making the grounds look very nice. Highly recommend this place for a beautiful day.
We take our dog to the dog park regularly. You need a pass from the county. They come around occasionally to check for passes. The park is well maintained, they provide bags. A large & separated small dog area. Gravel walk around path, picnic tables (I don't recommend bringing food!!), benches. There is a water pump outside the area. We bring water & bowl and share. There is a Forest outside the dog park. Free parking. The lot is small, however people come & go regularly so be patient and someone will leave.
A great place to take your pup to go off leash. Also it is a great place to walk while your doggie plays. Also has shelters. So rain or shine its a great place for your dog to play. It can get muddy though if it rains alot
Good place for nature walks and enjoy the outdoors. There is a gazebo with a nice grill. A lot of green and trails for walking, hiking, and biking. I recommend this place for stress relief and family bonding.
Love the dog park here, it's on the smaller size but you can keep an eye on your pups almost from anywhere in the park. My dogs love being able to just run full out here, and most people who come here are considerate and watch/clean up after their dogs as well.
