Nature Walk with Pat Armstrong at Knoch Knolls Park
320 Knoch Knolls Rd, Naperville, IL, 60565 Map
Public Welcome Family Friendly Free Event Nature Walk/Hike
Named for Judge Win Knoch and his wife Irene who once owned the land, the 236+-acre park has over 5 miles of trails, a Nature Center and lots of interpretive signs. We will be walking through oak-maple forests with many lovely wild flowers to visit the Confluence where the East and West Branches of the DuPage River join before heading to the Des Plaines and finally the Mississippi River.
Knock Knolls Park is located in southeast Naperville, south of 87th Street. Avoid going through downtown Naperville on Washington Street due to re-construction of the Bridge there. From south Washington Street turn west onto Ring Road and then immediately turn southwest on Knoch Knolls Road and go a little more than 1/2 a mile. You will pass the Conservation Foundation headquarters on your right and come to the park on your left. Park in the west part of the parking lot and we will meet at the Council Ring on the south side of the parking lot at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 18, 2024.
