About Kickapoo Woods

Kickapoo Woods, a 245-acre forest preserve in Riverdale, is ideal for a range of active pursuits,from bike riding and model airplane flying to calisthenics. The Little Calumet River runs through it on its way to the Calumet-Sag Channel, just 2.5 miles north. Those looking to explore off the beaten path can seek out the wet prairie and savanna being restored to the north of the playfield.
