Hidden Lakes Park, Bolingbrook, IL

Hidden Lakes Park covers 27 acres in Bolingbrook, anchored by a 10-acre spring-fed lake stocked for fishing. Two fishing piers, a boat launch, and a small dock for non-motorized craft are available to residents. A 1.8-mile paved loop trail circles the water and connects to a separate 0.6-mile nature trail through restored prairie and wetland areas. Picnic shelters, playgrounds, and restrooms sit near the main parking lot, while an open turf field and sand-volleyball court provide additional activity space. The park’s west edge abuts the DuPage River, offering shoreline views and seasonal waterfowl sightings. Bolingbrook’s Promenade outdoor shopping center and the Bolingbrook Golf Club are each within a five-minute drive, and Interstate 55 lies two miles east, giving residents quick access to downtown Chicago.
