On average it takes 41 minutes to complete this trail. This multi-use trail can be used both directions and has a easy overall physical rating with a 343 ft green climb. Lots of parking in three access locations, can get totally filled up during summer weekends. Waterfall Glen Gravel Loop is a 9 mile popular green gravel path trail located near Woodridge Illinois. There is also a significant natural water fall in the SW corner that's off trail an hard to find. There is a tiny manmade water fall - not the reason for the name. The county forest preserve personnel get out there and groom/track the snow, sometimes. In the winter when there is a descent snow fall it's good for cross country skiing, until the god walkers and fat tire bike riders get out there and demolish the snow surface. Beautiful place to run, walk or bike Loop is 9.5 miles with hills. High school track teams training that add to the scenery :-) and sometimes you see deer, snakes, etc. Read 10 tips and reviews from 405 visitors about miles, hills and trails.

It's not in any particular town - unincorporated DuPage County between Darien and Lemont. This is the major outdoor activity place in the area. If you don't want to walk very far to see the Rocky Glen Waterfalls then there is a Waterfall Parking lot that's off of Bluff Road from Route 83 and I believe you will see signs pointing tot he Rocky Glen Waterfalls off of the Rocky Glen Trail Yes three miles is a hike however was rewarded in seeing the actual waterfalls and enjoying watching families relaxing and playing in the water.įurther down I also saw the Sawmill Creek Bluff Overlook, which is an interesting site to see. It was a good opportunity to hike and walk along the Main Trail, which is comprised of crushed gravel and enjoy the lush green trees along the way. Fortunately there are maps available at the Information sites and I ran into a lady walking her dogs who pointed me in the right direction, also there were signs pointing in the direction of the waterfalls. The Rocky Glen Waterfall was three miles from where I parked and it took me awhile to find it. There are a few ares within the forest preserve where you can park, I decided to park in the parking right off of Northgate, which is Mile 0.0. First time visiting Waterfall Glen so decided to check it out.
