I’ve driven past this for 30+ years and never stopped until now. I never understood from the highway why so many people were always out here. Wow. What a hidden gem. Great fishing, hiking, and just an overall place to relax! We will definitely stop every time we pass through from here on out! More
Finally able to get into the visitor center. There were four people inside working. Not one of those people asked if we needed help or was looking for anything particular. Not even a hello upon entering the facility . I stated to the person
Nice, clean, calm environment to explore Nature and all it has to offer. Including fishing, and a peek at deers and other wildlife. Came out for some soothing water sounds, but I'll be back next weekend for some fishing before it gets cold.
Great place to take family and still be Social Distant. Please have Fishing license on hand! They will check! The fishing is fun with many spots to catch, great spots to picnic, perfect to take kids to the water to learn and practice
This is a little gem hidden, full of wildlife and very nice scenery. The small lake is a plus. Whether you walk or drive, it is a pleasure to visit this forest preserve.
Recently kayak fished this lake, only caught a 9" rock bass and 11" bass, a lot of submerged vegetation, the south end of the lake makes a good top water spot
Beautiful grounds lots of animals. Beautiful everything. I love being close to lake Michigan. Thank u Chicago for the beauty that u share with us daily.
It is very scenic and beautiful. Many things to do like fishing and taking your dog out. It has a playground too and interesting history. More
Not for exploring, only really if you are going there to do something: 1) FISHING 2) EVENTS (picnic/birthday etc)
A beautiful, peaceful oasis on the Chicago-Hammond border. It feels like another place.

Great place. Didn't catch any fish. But the park and restroom were clean. My family had a great time.
Held our family reunion at the William Powers Rec. Area! Very accommodating and beautiful scenery!
I love this place. Really huge park with lots of little gems to discover.
Well kept. Lots of picnic areas. Just watch out for the ducks.
