Lisle, Illinois is a western suburb of Chicago and it’s located in Dupage County, but first I just want to introduce myself again Amy Pearson with @properties I am a realtor in the western suburbs of Chicago and I also serve downtown Chicago as well. All right so i’m gonna give you my top three things to do in Lisle, Illinois. Lisle is one of my favorite suburbs, there’s a lot of great things to do but I’m only sharing three of my favorite things that you can enjoy or to do in Lisle.
Alright so my first thing that you definitely should check out in Lisle to do would be Green Trails which Green Trails is actually a subdivision. Which probably sounds kind of weird at first. It is a residential neighborhood with 477 acres, that includes nine lakes, mature woods, grassy open spaces hills and flatlands. But there’s also a bike paved bike path that runs throughout green trails and it is actually 25 miles long of paths that you can do for hiking, jogging, biking, or whatever you want to do. And it’s a great path to check out. I used to bike ride my bike on Green Trails when I was a kid. There are 17 public parks and tennis courts and basketball carts and ball fields all within Green Trails. So definitely great to check out it’s free. Just get your bikes and head on over to Green Trails and it is a neighborhood where houses do live in there so you if you’re interested in living in Lisle, you could just kind of ride the bike and check out the neighborhood taking the green trails path.
Alright so my next one would be something to do in the winter which is the Four Lakes Alpine Snow Sports so if you grew up in Dupage County chances are you know someone or yourself have learned to ski on Four Lakes Ski Hill. It is a great place to learn to ski on downhill ski. You can do great afternoon with your family friends and or with just a few friends to learn how to skate. They have a ski school for students as well as Talmark and Nordic Ski lessons are also available upon request. There’s also a Terrrian Park for skiers and snowboarders for all ski ski levels. They have equipment rental, season passes, and group lessons are available. It is closed right now but it will open once the temperatures start dropping. It’s definitely I would say a beginner hill. It’s a great place just get your feet wet and learn to skate but it is in Lisle, Illinois. All of the ways up the hill is actually a tow rope to get up the hill.
Next would be the Morton Arboretum. The Morton Arboretum’s tagline is the champion of trees and they definitely are it’s a great place to check out i would describe the morning as a museum of trees. There’s nature trails and you can even drive um throughout the roads and check out the scenery. There is a children’s garden that’s great to check out for young children. They have lots of festivals events at the Morton Arboretum as well and they have the fall 5k walk run, concerts in the summer as well as Illumination which is done during the holidays. It’s a how do I describe it a one mile walk of paved path with interactive lights and it’s and highlights the trees and all the beauty of winter. It’s a great event to check out. You do have to get tickets in advance for Illumination and I believe tickets go on sale October 1st, So check that out Illumination at the Morton Arboretum.
So those are my top three things to do in Lisle, Illinois. Hope you enjoyed them. They’re kind of some things to do throughout the year and throughout the different seasons. I’m Amy Pearson with @properties and if you know anyone thinking about buying or selling keep me in mind!

It’s a really great experience for young children. The zoo is seven dollars for non-residents and six dollars for seniors and they do sell family memberships as well.

If you’re just want to spend 30 minutes or several hours this is a great place it’s large enough so you can just pick a spot or pursue the whole park. There’s gardens for luxury strolls enjoying the nature as well as those who want to try to stay active. If you want to learn more about it you can also check out the Robert R Mccormick Museum or the First Division Museum which my nephew is a big fan of the first division museum. He’s a World War II fan so check that place out if you’re a World War II enthusiast.
Blackwell Forest Preserve
Next one is Blackwell Forest Preserve since there’s always so much nature in Wheaton, Blackwell is certainly a unique offering in Wheaton area you can do lots of outdoors things like hiking, picnicking, camping and there’s also a lake for water recreation fishing and boating.And it also offers something kind of unique from the area it has an archery range, targets are sold for six dollars and 50 cents and the range is open every day. There’s also an off the leash area for your dog so it’s a great park to check out. It’s free open daily one hour before sunrise and one after after sunset it closes.
Illinois Prairie Path
Next on my list would be the Illinois Prairie Path. The Illinois Prairie Path is great for bikers. It is a network of 61 miles of bicycle trails mostly in Dupage County and portions of the trail extend into Kane County. Most of the trail consists of what they would call a rails to trail meaning it used to be a old railroad track in the area that they converted into bicycle trails. The Illinois Prairie Path consists of three distinct districts originating in a point just west of downtown Wheaton the northwest branch is called the Elgin branch which and it runs approximately 16 miles to Elgin where it intersects with the Fox River Trail.

Next on my list would be Herrick Lake. Herrick Lake is a forest preserve in Wheaton that’s one of my favorite places in Wheaton. It has lots of hiking paths you can do biking and horseback riding in the winter you can do cross-country skiing. There’s also seven miles of trails including the Danada Herrick Lake Regional Trail. There’s also within the lake you can rent canoes, kayaks, and row boats through May through September you can rent the boats in the lake area of Herrick Lake.
