Explore the Steep Ravine of Black Partridge

Save to Favorites

The creek flowing through Black Partridge Woods carved a ravine into a broad, sloping bluff overlooking the Des Plaines River. Canopies of sugar maple, basswood and oak drop sharply from the highlands to the streambed below. This unique ravine landscape, together with the preserve’s location on a sleepy road in a corner of Lemont, makes Black Partridge Woods a rare treat.

You'll visit hidden corners of these woods as there are no marked trails. At the end of the day you'll see the results of your contribution.

We supply everything you need to make this a fun and satifying event.
