Clean and beautiful walking n bike trails
Happened to stumble uptown this park during my weekend trip to Chicago and fell in love with this long trail amidst city of Schaumburg. Ton of picnic areas, rest rooms and very well marked trails. Ton of bikers and walkers and well shaded areas as well. Only downside was that dog walkers did not clean up after their pets. The place really sticks up because of their negligence.

Busse Woods Foreat Preserve: An ideal to enjoy a beautiful day.
We were in the Chicagoland area for a wedding the weekend of September 10-12, 2021. Our hotel was located in Wood Dale, only a short drive to BWFP. We are bicyclist and rode the trail system Friday early evening and Saturday afternoon. The trail system is paved and overall very nice. The main loop is 7 miles. Most of the path is through the woods and a significant amount is shaded which is especially nice on a hot day. Several of the roads are traversed by bridges on the trail route. There is very little of the trail that goes along a road. The natural environment is beautiful. We would definitely recommend visiting BWFP and using the trail system during the day. Our early evening ride was very buggy. Although our primary purpose was to bike ride we did note that there is several other activities that people were enjoying in this area including, rollerblading, running, walking, fishing, kayaking, picnicking, lawn games, and other activities you would expect to see in any park. We found it humorous that there are multiple signs prohibiting snowmobiling. Access to the various areas and the trails is available at several points in the area. Parking is good and there is no charge. We would definitely recommend going to Busse Woods Forest Preserve if you enjoy any outdoor activity noted or just need to commune with some beautiful nature in a well developed community.
