Lyman Woods Nature Center Loop is a 1.5 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Downers Grove, Illinois that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching.
This area is prone to mud and flooding.
January 27, 2021Lyman Woods Forest Preserve has enough interconnected trails to create a nice walk. There's a mixture of wooded trails and wetlands boardwalks. On this January day everything was covered in several inches of snow but this would be extraordinarily nice when all the wetland wildlife is visible. The woods must be home to a number of deer as there were fresh tracks on all the trails. I will definitely be back here.

October 16, 2020Rare in Du Page County grove of beautiful pine trees.
October 13, 2020October 4, 2020Great nature sounds and views for being tucked away in a burn. Always light drone of the road however.
October 1, 2020Pretty good number of birds this time of year. Warblers
September 22, 2020September 13, 2020September 7, 2020This place is fantastic. Not as crowded as other places, well maintained trail and boardwalk, good birding, good signage, and good times.
August 23, 2020July 29, 2020Great trail! Only a few spots were hard to get the stroller through. It was fun seeing the different wildlife.
July 9, 2020Great quieter trail but some boards covering up muddy spots and there is a lot of mud
June 14, 2020This hike is perfect if you search for something what is not very crowded. It has a very beautiful scenery and the nature looks untouched.
September 4, 2019Nice trail with no pets or bikes.
June 14, 2019Trail was closed at two points, and the path itself was pretty inconsistent. some overgrown grass, a few mud spots, then dirt, then some stones. That said there is a beautiful overlook at the southeast end by a lake (which I dont think you can get too). Got a close up of a blue jay as well.
May 27, 2019Walked with a jogging stroller. Ended up carrying the stroller a lot due to lots of mud and flooding.
September 16, 2018Decent little trail. Very surprised at how much land is back there.

First to ReviewGreat trail. We enjoyed the way it covers three ecosystems in a short hike.
