This beautiful trail does a circle where 9.5 miles starts and ends at the same place. There is a special parking spot where you can park roughly half a mile from the the waterfall in case the 9 mile walk doesn’t appeal to you. The waterfall is small, but absolutely beautiful and a great way to spend your morning or afternoon. It’s lively on the weekends so I recommend weekday mornings so you can truly enjoy your time here.

It's a beautiful park that has a great view of Chicago from the south.
It’s a great spot for a photo op and just a great place to spend a lazy afternoon because of the many huge, free BBQ pits along the lake. You can also bring a travel grill and hang out on the grass and grill, relax, or read, but mostly it’s a great place to be during sunrise for you early birds.
