Explore the preserve at night at popular evening walk for couples and friends
(Jan. 19, 2022) — Enjoy a night in nature with someone you love on a Romantic Night Walk from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 11 and 12 at the DuPage Forest Preserve District’s Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve at 3609 Spring Road in Oak Brook.
Take a 1- to 3-mile self-guided walk with your sweetheart or with friends on lantern-lit paths that meander through an oak forest. Along the way you’ll pause at historic shelters, cozy fires, and scenic bridges, where you can listen to the soothing sounds of the rolling waters of Salt Creek.
“The woods are often blanketed in snow, and we set the scene for a beautiful winter escape far from a mundane night out,” said District environmental interpreter Jenny Kamm. “Year after year this is one of our most popular programs for adults.”
Romantic Night Walk is $10 per person and for ages 18 and up. Register online or at 630-933-7248. In accordance with CDC guidelines, all visitors 2 or older regardless of vaccination status must wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth when inside forest preserve buildings and in crowded outdoor settings.
The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has been connecting people to nature for more than 100 years. More than 6.2 million people visit its 60 forest preserves, 166 miles of trails, six education centers and scores of programs each year.
