Confirmed from Lemont Heritage Quarries Recreation Area's 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.
Sprawling park featuring hiking trails, boating and picnics. There are also zip lines and canoes.
What runners say about Lemont Heritage Quarries Recreation Area
“Saw a beautiful swan, couple cormorants (birds), and wild flowers.”
This is one cool park, its huge and has miles of trails, both for hiking and biking. The addition of The Forge Adventure Park a pay by the day or the attraction recreation area will only enhance the use of this hidden gem.
Our family and friends love this place it’s perfect to just walk and relax or if you looking for a run exercise it’s amazing place . This used to was hidden gem of Lemont it’s too bad it’s now develop and most of the wild life and nature has been totally ignore it process .
This place is nice to get away and hang out with the family, friend's, or a date. Fun and relaxing kayaking and some good fishing. No gas motors, only electric. Nice biking and hiking trails. A lot to do and see here for outdoors people.
A nice hiking trail round a big pond. Saw a beautiful swan, couple cormorants (birds), and wild flowers. It takes about an hour to do the entire circle, maybe less, we stopped at a picnic table and ate sandwiches we packed.
