Egermann Woods

One of the few remaining pre-settlement oak forests in DuPage County is in Egermann Woods Preserve. Additionally, several ephemeral ponds and 15 acres of reforested native trees and plants are contained in the preserve, making it a valuable habitat for amphibians, birds, and other wildlife species.

Recreation

Trails

While this preserve is relatively undeveloped, there is a mowed turf trail which meanders for 1.3 miles through the preserve. The trail can be used by hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders, cross-country skiers and joggers. No parking is available.

Volunteer Opportunities

Working under the direction of the Office of Natural Resources, volunteer site stewards and “Volunteer Restoration Workday” participants help to monitor and manage the large oak woodland that makes up this preserve.
