Camp

Buffalo Park Forest Preserve is a beautiful, wooded area along a three-quarter mile stretch of Fox River shoreline. The preserve was aquired in the 1980s, after decades of use as a private camp/recreation area. The District initially offered a campground at the site as well, but after numerous devastating flood events, the campground infrastructure was removed. In its place are picnic areas, a loop trail, access to fishing, several parking areas and restrooms.
