Confirmed from Possum Hollow 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.
Forested nature preserver featuring a creek, picnic areas & shelters, trails & more.

“Nice quiet place to relax and eat lunch.”
Nice and clean forest preserve 👍 perfect for a afternoon walk or bycicle Riding. Nice picnic area too.
Great ride in this great preserve that's close to the city... The path connects throughout the Chicagoland area neighboring townships and villages. This trail will take you all the way North as far as Schaumburg, and possibly further.
Been walking and biking these trails for years now. I absolutely love it. Well maintained trails in dense woods. Peaceful with plenty of wildlife.
Nice small. Has open areas. And sidewalks to nowhere. Interesting history. Great for walking dogs Quiet
