Its nice to have a place to park And take a ride or walk on the Bike trail. A nice walking bridge to cross the river. A nice area to enjoy river scenery

It only gets four stars at the moment because is not spring yet. I can only imagine how it would look like in spring or summer. Great trails for walks or jogging . I noticed it had multiple old active small boat ramps, which is nice for dingies or canoes to paddle in The historical Fox River! Lots of Fish and tranquility? So Folks get out there and enjoy Elgins natural parks and amazing trails!

Only saw one table near the river for eating. Only one porta potty and river view wasnt too scenic at that spot. Might be good for hiking.

Lovely Place to go fishing, jogging, cycling! We liked it because of its geographical features - it is a marshy area and is related to the ancient glacial period of Earth. It has good parking facilities, washroom and a gazeebo. Do let us know if you liked this place : @theamazingexposure ( instagram)

A nice peaceful park that you can access off the Fox River Trail. There are a couple shelters with benches to rest at or eat lunch.If the Fox River is high, the area can be prone to flooding. In the winter the incline to get out/turn onto Duncan can be tough if it isnt plowed.Would not advise coming here after dark (the park is closed for starters) because there are often sketchy people hanging around.

The toilet/ urinal/ port-o- potty was disgusting.. the waste was almost all the way up to the top of the seat! Otherwise, always a nice place to walk and clear your mind along the river..

Small, beautiful park on the edge of the Fox River. It provides an interesting look at the river year round. There is a little gazebo that overlooks the river and also a canoe launch ramp. The park serves as either a waypoint or entry point for the Fox River trail.

Slippery and almost unkempt, multiple pieces of trash. Pictures were never prettier though, great opportunity if you want great pictures.

A nice place to fish as long as you dont eat what you catch. Theres a sign along much of the land nearby the river saying that its unsafe after rain due to sewage runoff.
