Bridge along Des Plaines River

Highlight • Bridge

A bridge with a metal frame and wooden flooring carries hikers over a small stream flowing into the Des Plaines River. It’s a quiet place along the trail to pause and hear the water below. Visit in the early morning for a calm stop and a chance to see dragonflies near the stream’s edge
