Running

If you are running along the North Branch Red Paved Trail or the dirt horse trail that follows the Skokie River, you'll pass through a bunch of different parks and preserves. The Watersmeet Woods is one of those natural preserves that the trails pass through.

Hiking

Situated where the east and middle forks of the Chicago River merge, Watersmeet Woods earns its name from this distinctive convergence. The varied collection of trees, shrubs, sedges, grasses, and wildflowers within this natural haven thrives thanks to the continuous efforts of volunteers participating in the North Branch Restoration Project.
