Essentially, you go South on Boughton Road off of 355.   WATCH FOR THE SIGNS.  At the intersection of Schmidt Rd. turn West on Trout Farm Drive.

Parking lot is the first thing you will come to.   

OR
The Website has a map in pdf that quickly downloads.   

WHY:

First Reason:

It is near everyone.   This quiet, peaceful, lovely place is off of Boughton Road down a paved lane to the West.   

And it is laid out in a wonderful way for painters.   The lakes can be viewed in layers going into the background.   It is a beautifully groomed place.   You can walk completely around the lakes.   It is adjacent to the DuPage River trail -- you can find a spot over there as well.

 It's a great little find!
