Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve
Thanks for taking the time to watch our very first video. Since we started, things have changed; primarily, the current videos are, we believe, higher quality, and a more suitable length for taking a quick nature break. Thanks again for watching and please be sure to check out our other videos (and subscribe to our channel!).
Take a short journey through a small part of the Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve is located in Lemont, Illinois and consists of 2,492-acres of beautiful and ecologically impressive outdoor space in the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. It is known for its Rocky Glen waterfall, Sawmill Creek bluff overlook, and extensive trails. Waterfall Glen has gently rolling to somewhat hilly terrain with 11 miles of trails that can be used by walkers, hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders and cross-country skiers.

Waterfall Glen loop
A beautiful day out in the Lemont/Darien/Westmont area. Decided to take a spin around Waterfall Glen which encircles the Argonne National Lab.
Usually pretty empty during the afternoon but some school must have been out, few packs of kids around. Always annoying cause they pay no attention to trail etiquette and take up whole sides and dont listen for pass calls.
The trail is kept in really great condition, hard to even consider it a trail/off road ride, smoother than most roads.
Road on a Specialized Diverge with 30mm groad tires (smooth center with rough edges for gripping on turns)
One section noted in the video is still real bad. Actually took a huge tree fall last summer and since has not recovered from the heavy machinery used to remove the tree. It used to be smooth and fast but you'll notice on the video there just how awfully violent and shaky the video gets, really big cracks and digs in the path.
Also note towards the end the horrifying stupid women who has 2 dogs leashed to her bike. What a dumb idea, no control over your pet what so ever, just letting them run free. There is no pet trained well enough to do that in an encounter with the foxes and deer in that forest, only going to get you, someone else, and your dogs injured doing that. Dumbass. As an owner of 2 dogs I cant imagine being so horrifyingly careless with my dogs safety.
ranting done!
Enjoy!
Waterfall Glen 12 16
Since freeze/thaw has been going on and we haven't been able to hit up some singletrack we decided to at least get out and ride and explore a bit at Waterfall Glen. WFG is mostly gravel but thanks to a friend he showed us some little singletrack areas. You can also watch Vic climb something and then get stuck. Was just a fun day of exploring and messing around. Got to have fun!
