Hiking
Maple Lake Trail loops around its namesake lake, and is a well-maintained path of crushed gravel and dirt. As you make your way through Meacham Grove Forest Preserve, you'll be treated to some of the most picturesque woodland scenery in the area. Unlike much of the surrounding Illinois terrain, this trail features a rare hill—perfect for a bit of elevation gain and a rewarding descent on the other side.
