So You’re Starved for Nature

BY LAUREN WILLIAMSON Chicago Magazine PUBLISHED MARCH 13, 2019

DARIEN —Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve is the kind of place where, on a snowy Saturday
morning, you could find yourself face to face with a coyote. The one I met looked, in its bushy
winter coat, as big as a timber wolf. He had found a perfect home in these 2,500 acres teeming with
more than 700 native plant species and 300 types of animals: salamanders by vernal pools, hawks
perched watchfully in the abundant oak trees. On most weekends, you’ll find a river of cyclists,
joggers, and horseback riders flowing along the 10-mile trail, which loops through the woods and
alongside an expansive grassland where the coyote eventually disappeared. The only natural waterfall
in DuPage County (pictured) tumbles a little southwest of Argonne National Laboratory — though
the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County won’t reveal exactly where, fearing that curious
hikers will inadvertently damage it. Then there’s the well-known manmade falls. But the park isn’t
named for either. The real inspiration is a past president of the forest preserve district: Seymour
“Bud” Waterfall, whose name comes this close to parody before being rescued by a lovely vision of
nature.
