Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve in Darien is an awesome place for recreation in nature. I have biked and hiked the beautiful trails here quite often. The trails are paved with fine crushed stone. The well maintained and well marked trails are wide enough so that two way traffic is not an issue. Occasionally, informative placards are posted along the trails about local history and biodiversity. The main trail is the loop trail which is about 9.4 miles long, and traverses through level meadows and challenging hilly sections. The scenery is beautiful all through with varied vegetation. There are several access points for the loop trail with ample parking space, except the parking lot on Bluff Road. This parking lot provides the closest access to Rocky Glen Waterfall (half mile walk). The waterfall is a prime attraction in the forest preserve; so the small lot gets pretty full. The beautiful Sawmill Creek Bluff Overlook is not too far from here also. About the loop trail, I would say the best stretch is the first five miles starting from the main parking lot at Cass Avenue and I-55. Miles 5-7 are quite hilly and have more bugs. There is a Des Plaines River overlook at Mile 5, but the view is mostly shrouded by trees. Another nice feature in the preserve is a model-airplane field at Mile 3. One negative about the trail is the one major road crossing at busy Cass Avenue at Mile marker 9 (almost the end of the loop). But, all in all, Waterfall Glen has a fantastic trail system providing great enjoyment of the outdoors. It is a very well-maintained forest preserve.
