Cycling

The 797-acre Danada Forest Preserve features all types of wilderness terrain in the form of prairies, woods and wetlands. It also consists of scenic rolling terrain that offers trails, fishing, and picnicking areas. There is also a large wetland complex on the west side of Naperville Road that supports egrets, woodcocks, painted turtles, chorus and leopard frogs. There is also a rookery of nesting great blue herons.
