Top places to visit

1. 5.0 Little Red Schoolhouse (27 reviews)
   - Fall trails
   Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
   
   
   On Willow Springs Road, by 107th, with free parking, 2 buildings to tour for free (one is the original red schoolhouse). The new facility has bathrooms, a table indie to sit at, great areas for kids for interactive play, and wonderfully done displays. There are owls and hawks in outdoor enclosures. Multiple trails of varying lengths well labelled, and fall displays. Well worth a trip this fall. See more..

3. 4.5 John Husar l&M Canal Trail (13 reviews)
   - Well-Maintained Trail
   Spent 1-2 hours Biking Trails • Hiking Trails
   
   
   The Cook County Forest Preserve District does a fantastic job caring for this trail. Within 24 hours of a storm all debris is cleared from the path. Every season they cut back branches and grass making it clear and smooth. Professional bikers, families with young kids and liesure runners all use it safely, as long as you stick to the right. It connects to other car-free trails so you can go for a good 30 miles if you want. There is a great bike shop called Bici 2 in Willow Springs on Archer that will check your tire pressure and rent bikes too. See more..

   - Great views and beautifully paved trail
   Biking Trails
   
   
   Love this trail. My favorite for bike riding and even jogging. It’s popular so use caution when passing, but that certainly doesn’t take anything away from the trail. Try it out! I’m sure you’re going to feel that same! See more..

   - Fantastic break from the city
   Horseback Riding Tours
   
   
   My wife and I decided to visit Sarah's Pony Rides for a Sunday morning horseback ride and had a great experience. I'm a big guy and have ridden for a few years in my past. They had a clydesdale for me to ride that was as sweet as could be. My wife hasn't ridden before, and she also got a horse that wasn't any trouble at all. We went for an hour trail ride in the forest that's connected to the property. The trail guides were very friendly. Overall it was a great experience and we're already talking about going back next weekend since it was so close. See more..
