This was my first time coming to Forest Glen, and it was awesome. I registered for the backpacking trail, and made it an overnight trip. 12 miles for the loop, and it was harder than I thought it would be in flat Illinois. Lots of elevation gain between the ridges. I hiked 8 miles on the first day to the East Camp, and I would say that I preferred this campsite to the group camp. It was much more secluded, and there is no road access up to it.
I highly recommend to anyone who lives in the area, for either camping or just simply day hiking!
