things to do FISHING MOST FOREST PRESERVES

You can fish on most lakes, ponds, rivers, and tributaries, many of which are stocked with bass, pike, walleye, and other species.

If you’re 16 or older and not legally disabled, you must carry a valid Illinois fishing license (an inland trout stamp, too, if you’re fishing for trout).

You can ice fish but at your own risk; the Forest Preserve District does not monitor ice conditions. As a guideline not a guarantee, a minimum of 4 inches of ice is recommended. You can fish up to two holes at one time, but each needs to be under 10 inches in diameter.

Regulations, depth maps and creel limits for 31 lakes are in the Forest Preserve District’s Fishing Guide.

GOLF Fees, tee times, exclusive online specials and more are at DuPageGolf.com.

SELECT FOREST PRESERVES

things to do TRAILS MOST FOREST PRESERVES

DuPage forest preserves have 166 miles of trails for hiking, jogging, and running, and most allow biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing.

Bikers should ride on the right (single file when in groups) and announce “passing on your left” when doing so.

Approach horses slowly, and allow extra room. Never pass a horse on a bridge, which can make even an experienced animal nervous.

The Forest Preserve District grooms over 80 miles for skiing when weather allows.

If you’re a classic skier, please use the edge of the trail. Freestyle skiers and other visitors should stay in the center and avoid stepping on set tracks.

If there’s plenty of snow and you’re a musher, you can use the West Branch DuPage River Trail, Bobolink Trail and connector trails near McKee Marsh at Blackwell and the Thunderbird Trail at Greene Valley. During the rest of the year, you can use wheeled carts under 4 feet wide on any trails that allow biking.

Maps for 25 preserves are in the Forest Preserve District’s Trails Guide.

25 maps. 90 trails.
