Description

I'm organizer of a hiking group https://www.meetup.com/Cook-DuPage-Collar-County-Trailblazers/ and we're going to be hiking Oakhurst Forest in Kane County Aurora this Sunday. Hike around the lake for about 1.7 miles then end up back at the parking lot. The rest of the hike will end up being around 6 miles total. We have hiked here a few times before but this time exploring some of the inner trails. Many people love this preserve because its pretty heavily wooded. The trail around the lake is full sun so we'll do that one first. Location 1680 5th Ave, Aurora, IL Directions The entrance is .5 miles east of Farnsworth. Your GPS will take you there using above address. There is a big Greek church right across the street. When you see it be ready to turn in on the north side of the street. As you drive in, stay to the right. We are meeting in shelter 1. Do not drive toward the big hill which will be on your left.
