Tired of staying inside, we ventured out here to be outdoors and get some exercise. It was a nice day - though not too crowed.While the walk was pleasant. I found it hard to tell how far we had gone, or how far we had to go to the next landmark. It would be useful to provide more visible milemarkers along the trail. Also helpful would be benches spaced every 1000 to 1500 feet. As a senior, o can be tough to go far without a spot to rest.

I come here often to bike the Salt Creek Trail. The park is very pretty and you often see some deer hanging out. Is rather small, but if you follow the trail, itll take you from park to park. Its an awesome ride, probably as pretty a run.

Beautiful, great trail for biking, walking, jogging, or skating. Keep your eyes open for deer, birds, beavers, squirrels, and many other animals.

This is a great place to walk, run, or bike. Our whole family uses the path often. It is beautiful and peaceful in every season and makes you feel like you are far away from a city. We have seen deer, blue jays, woodpeckers, tadpoles and many more animals. It has been great to expose my toddlers to the bauty of nature.

Being a single female, I felt very comfortable jogging on my own on the Salt Creek trail. I parked my car in the Brookfield Woods parking lot and took The trail north. The trail meanders through the woods and is heavily used by other bikers and joggers.

Beautiful native prairie. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a nature walk. You may run into deer, hawks, toads, and many other interesting creatures and plants. Monarch butterflies have been especially prevalent this year. At one point I saw five in flight at the same time! Butterfly Heaven!

Review №73

I bike or run on the trail thay goes through here at least once a week. The only thing is that a lot of people do not respect the lanes and often Ive run into small groups walking side to side covering the entire path. Once I was coming to a turn and almost ran over a toddler who was on the wrong lane on her bicycle. Her mother looked at me as if anything that could have happened would have been my fault.I dont see any signs trying to enforce lane rules, if the body in charge is relying on good judgement, bad collisions will happen sooner or later.
