The trout are still bitting at Blackwell Forest Preserve. It you run out of bait you can buy some at the park concessions. #fishing #dupage #Illinois

It was fun!!! Good place to just BBQ & relax with friends and family! :-)

When buying wood, you get a lot for $5. Best to pick it up in a car, or bring something to carry it in and a friend to help.

Bill Lewis

Beautiful area, well maintained. Archery range is amazing!

Never miss opening day of Spring or Fall trout season-- the first week of April and October.

Great Fishing from shore, docks or boats!! Largemouth Bass, Pike, Catfish and Bluegills are in this lake .

Tubing hill was busy. Stood. In line for 30 min to go down and hill wasn't very fast. For $5 it wasn't bad for younger kids but the three 11 yr olds with me were bored.
