Overview
Cricket Creek contains DuPage’s first wetland mitigation bank, a restoration site funded by developers to replace previously destroyed wetlands. The habitat attracts a wide variety of native wildlife, including a variety of bird species such as great blue herons and ducks, and various amphibians.
Over 3 miles of trails — including 2.4 miles of the 30-mile Salt Creek Greenway Trail — wind through the preserve and around the lakes and are ideal for hiking, biking, jogging and cross-country skiing.
