Wentworth Prairie Forest Preserve spans 120 acres in Calumet City, offering residents direct access to walking and hiking trails that wind through restored tallgrass prairie and wooded areas. The preserve includes a 1.5-mile crushed-stone trail suitable for walking, jogging, and cross-country skiing in winter. Picnic shelters, drinking fountains, and parking areas are located near the entrance off Wentworth Avenue. Anglers can access the Des Plaines River for fishing, while birdwatchers frequently observe species such as great blue herons and sandhill cranes along the river corridor. The preserve connects to the regional Thorn Creek Trail system, allowing extended routes for cyclists and runners. Its location, less than two miles from Interstate 94 and the Calumet City shopping district, provides convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, and medical facilities without sacrificing on-site natural surroundings.
Wentworth Prarie Forest Preserve currently has 17 single family homes for sale, 1 townhouse for sale, and 1 condo for sale. There is 1 foreclosure for sale, and 2 short sales.
