Did you know that hiking on a trail burns 102 calories per half hour?
Whether you kick it in gear at a fast-paced power walk or prefer a leisurely stroll, you can get the most out of your workouts on 145 miles of trails in DuPage forest preserves. Our Forest Hikes not only offer one-time fun but opportunities to come back each week to explore some of the most popular trails in the company of other outdoor enthusiasts.
Select from one of our hikes, then read up on some helpful tips for your next outdoor adventure.
Gear up to enjoy some healthy exercise with one of our naturalists as you walk between 3 – 5 miles while exploring the wonders of the preserves. Adults only. $3 per person in advance; $5 at the walk. Register online or call 630-850-8110.
