Confirmed from Egermann Woods' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Egermann Woods

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (43 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

They've been doing some burning recently on the side along Hobson and it looks pretty cool. This is one of my favorite forest preserves in the area, but I never thought to review it. Anyway, it's a great park.

★★★★★ — Michael , Jan 2022

Its a good place for a hike when the mosquitoes are not around. They should add a small parking lot to make it easier for people who don't live in the neighborhood.

★★★★☆ — Harrison , Oct 2018

It is a fun place for a run or a jog to calm down with ponds, animals, and paths.

★★★★☆ — Banana , Jun 2023

This is a nice forest preserve in Naperville area. The good thing about this forest preserve is there is a paved hiking path between the forest and the neighborhood houses. It looks safe and quiet

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
