My granddaughter and I were done with remote learning for the day and needed an excursion. I knew of River Trail Nature Center as I had been there years before when my own kids were little. I knew the indoors would be closed, but remembered the outside cages. We saw a bald eagle, coyote, owl and hawk. We also saw tons of birds and squirrels around the bird feeders. She was very excited to see these animals up close. After looking at all the animals, we walked down by the river and saw Canada geese in the distance. We threw snowballs into the river and watched them float downstream. Ryan, who was working there that day, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My granddaughter was excited to get a brown bag with little goodies in it along with a calendar. The visit made a gloomy day very pleasant. We'll certainly make the trip again. Thank you Cook County Forest Preserve.

Catch and release fishing at man-made Lake Shermerville Three-loop walk/jog/run path: main green loop .85 mile; west red loop .17 mile; and east blue loop .22 mile Fun Fact: sledding hill, thickly planted with tall, mature trees, was built back in the day with clay hauled from the building site of Northbrook Court. two wood-chip-surface playgrounds and a sand box several picnic areas with tables, plenty of trash and recycling cans, and grills ample sports fields plenty of benches thanks to the park district's tree and bench donation program tennis courts. park abuts Interstate 294, so sometimes it's a matter of traffic noise vs. bird songs. Fans and lights in restrooms turn on automatically when anyone enters. Enjoy this wonderful park and try not to envy the homeowners on the opposite shore of Lake Shermerville.
