Where do you hike?

One of the views hiking at hoover

Today looks like a great day to go hiking. Sadly I will not be able to - but if I did today I would go to Hoover Forest preserve It's right in Yorkville and has about 3-3.5 miles of trails. 11285 W Fox Rd Yorkville, IL 60560 is where you can find it. I would say it's medium difficult level - it has some big hills. I would say half of the trails are looking down from a hill along the river - its really pretty. Most of the rest are through the woods, as well as a large stretch of open prairie in the middle of the woods - one creek crossing with out a bridge (use rocks) and 2-3 more with bridges. - if you want a really easy hike, you can actually park in the far back lot and just walk on a paved path around a loop for about a mile - would be good for a stroller I think. Hoover has some great picnic areas, at least one of them is covered maybe more. They also have  a awesome new building  you can rent out for events. Horses are welcome as well, so watch your step on the trails!
Hoover is also a great place to go for a run - since a lot of it is on a hill (along the river) it does not get as muddy as some of the other places in the area.
Happy Hiking
