This is a cool spot to come with the grandkids or take a walk with a loved one, or throw a boat in the river, its a beautiful drive full of nature sounds, we always see a deer to and plenty of birds

The new playground was nice. My youngest granddaughter liked the zip line. Couldnt believe an insolvent park district could afford such a fancy sign. The one way road to the bottom of the park is abysmal.

I went to check out the trails that Lowell has to offer today. The two park rangers I met were very friendly and helpful! They gave me advice about which trails might be best and warned me about the mosquitoes! It ended up being a quick visit since I wasnt dressed for dealing with mosquitoes, but I hope to be back soon! Also, if you stop by the visitor center, they have a live owl in captivity.

A beautiful place to visit. There are programs for kids, nature walks, interesting information about local animals, plant, etc. My favorite thing is seeing the live owl which can be seen from inside or out. I definitely recommend stopping here or checking the web sight for activities!

This is not a place to be missed! My children and I had so much fun visiting with Yowl the great horned owl, the park ranger, and the fantastic wildlife teacher and botanist, who was great with my kids and had them interested in everything. There were a multitude of fun learning activities and games and we cant wait to come back for some of the many events scheduled. Thank you!

Great trials to walk or bike in this splendid natural wooded environment with lots of wildlife to enjoy seeing, from birds to animals to insects. There are friendly park rangers to assist you and staff at the nature center- including a botonist do guide you with interesting information about the parks natural wonders. Must see their real live owl who lives there too!
