Hike Yankee Woods, paved path, Fairly Flat - 3.1 or 4.5 miles
Details
The weather on Thursday is projected to be nice, with temperatures in the high 60s, mostly sunny, and dry. Let's go to Yankee Woods for a moderate-length walk.
Yankee Woods is a great opportunity for newcomers and for those who prefer a shorter, easier walk. This is a nice 3.1-mile loop on a flat, paved path, mostly through wooded areas. There is an opportunity to take the side trail toward the Bremen Grove Dog Park, for another 1.4 miles or 4.5 miles in total.
This is the purple trail, part of the Tinley Creek Trail System, around the George W. Dunne National Golf Course. Be sure to use the forest preserve entrance (NOT the golf course just north of the preserve) and go to the second (further) parking lot, the one we usually park at. Dress for the weather!
